Toy Story 4(?) is about toys who build their own society without kids and live independently.
It’s also a horror film about a 5 year old child capable of creating sentient lifeforms that do not consent to their own existence and become immediately suicidal.
These films are super messed up, based on a concept that did not need to be dived further into.
I think you are aiming too low, do NOT aim for entry IT jobs. They will kill your soul.
Understand that the common career progression from IT/Helpdesk now requires learning programming skills to manage and deploy resources as code, you’ve already done the hard part with your degree and experience.
Look into SRE, DevOps principles, Cloud computing.
There is a growing job market for writing infrastructure as code, it’s also AI-proof in that no one wants to put a LLM in charge of the AWS bill. By all means take the N+ and security+, throw in a couple of cloud certs and look for the meeting point of those skills and your existing experience.
