There is some very good advice put forth in the other posts. I would like to add that a mechanical aptitude is essential for computer jobs. The same thought processes that you use to daignose a mechanical failure are the similar to those used in the computer world. PC repair is a good place to start. Should you get a job in IT most of your time will be spend working on the PCs themselves unless it is a large IT shop. Find a course that offers you an A+ certification (you will have to take a test to get it) Just so you know there is very little money in repair of home PCs. You can spend hours on them and quickly exceed the cost of a new machine. I flat rate my home PC repairs not including parts costs. All of the Home PC work I do is after hours and most consists of Malware/virus removal. I don't guarantee fast just that it will be done right, AND you have to bring your PC to me I'm not sitting at your place for hours while some Virus/Malware scanner runs.
Once you get your A+ cert then move on to Microsoft certs (More tests). Experience is the key here. It is hard to get and is easily outdated. Many small organizations want a tech but can only afford entry level pay. They are where you build your skills. If you can get into a Business that does IT services that is a golden oportunity to learn learn learn. My career started as a stock boy at a computer store in 1984
