Best tech fields that are fast/easy to get into?

I'm 27, only have an AA in business. My work history is retail, an office/education position, and self-employed as a social media content creator. Getting a Bachelors is unfortunately not an option for me based on my circumstances. I really don't care about having a career, my main goal is turning my passion into a business (typical, I know). I've made great progress with that but the income has been inconsistent and I can't do it full-time and pay rent yet…so I need a job for now. But I 100% will not let this slip away from me like it has in the past. Ideally I want a WFH job to give myself more time to work on my personal goals. I also want to travel but I have no idea how the fuck it would be possible with a regular job. I've also never been on an airplane or…

I really don't care about having a career, my main goal is turning my passion into a business (typical, I know). I've made great progress with that but the income has been inconsistent and I can't do it full-time and pay rent yet…so I need a job for now. But I 100% will not let this slip away from me like it has in the past.

Ideally I want a WFH job to give myself more time to work on my personal goals. I also want to travel but I have no idea how the fuck it would be possible with a regular job. I've also never been on an airplane or went on a vacation before…it's pretty depressing to say that and I'm almost 30.

This basically leaves me with either a non-WFH generic office job or customer service/call center position, neither of which seem all that great to be honest and I'm stuck in an HCOL state because I literally can't afford to move. I was thinking about learning a tech-related skill that could give me more options, something that has a lot of WFH positions and maybe even less than 5 days a week? That would be amazing. I don't need to be rich off of it, just have free time and bills paid.

I guess the criteria would be something that is (subjectively) quick, can be learned online, and has a lot of job openings. I need to move out and find a new job in the next few months so that's also another factor, but for now I can dedicate a large portion of the day to learning something. I'm heavily leaning towards Salesforce based on my research but I'm open to any other ideas or suggestions, thanks.

Edit: let me clarify. I don't have unrealistic expectations, I'm just looking for ideas on what tends to be the fastest or easiest to get into. I'm aware I will likely have to get a less desirable job for now but my goal is to not be trapped in said job if I end up hating it.
