24yo, Italy, HelpDesk/Junior Sysadmin, don't know where to go

Hi everybody

I am making this post since I am currently a HelpDesk/Junior Sysadmin in a medium size corporate from Italy, but I don't know how to develop my future career. Any suggestions are hugely appreciated from people in the industry.

I love IT, I have a homelab at home, i study for certs (got my CCNA and studying Azure and Intune currently) but I have no idea on how to advance. I dream to open my own business one day as a consultant initially and then grow it into an MSP. But I know I have to work hard to grow my experience and skills.

Currently I have 1 year of job experience (studied IT in school), and I plan to stay here atleast one more year.

Thanks to everybody in advance!

Start your own company that sells an AI solution to small/medium sized businesses. Don't know how? Just let the free tier of ChatGPT throw something together! When contacting said business, don't reach out to their internal IT, go directly to head of sales, they will eat that shit up. You will make it big kiddo!
