A tier list is not about which job is good or bad. It ranks entry-level IT roles by two things that matter when you are starting out: how accessible the job is to a fresh graduate, and how much it sets you up for the next step.
Support and helpdesk rank high for accessibility: almost anyone can start here, and it teaches you how real systems break. Networking and systems administration sit a notch up, harder to enter but with a clear path forward.
Security, cloud, and data roles are lower on accessibility, since they usually want experience first, but highest on growth and pay. The move is to enter where you can, then climb toward where you want to be.
Watch the full ranking in the video, then use it to plan your first two years, not just your first job.
