By employed I mean get a job in the industry either offline or online. Ideally something that would highly likely remain in-demand in the near future.

Entry level networking technician. You can get a bunch of useful Cisco certifications for free on their website. Try to get yourself an old switch from ebay to practice setting up a small network, vlans etc., and you've got a solid start.

Appreciate the response! Any specific video/reading course to start with?

I didn't use any video resources back when I got into it, so really couldn't tell, sorry. But I'm sure there will be some networking 101 courses on youtube.
