You need to look at TraceSecurity if you are unwilling to move and have any interest in cyber security. Local company who will hire and train novice analysts.
ETA - they hire folks right out of school and who are very green, but there are basic IT aptitude questions they will ask. You can't just know nothing

If you want to stay in Baton Rouge, you could apply for a state job - you'll have to go through the civil service website to apply. Most of the sites are downtown.
Go through some of the online certifications first others mentioned, as they will want some sort of qualifications.
You most probably will have to start in a helpdesk type role - but once there can move to other areas. Starting pay isn't great for helpdesk, but it will be steady and benefits are good.
If you have time - retirement is very good - one of the few that places you can still earn a pension. Bobby Jindal changed some of the rules - so it's not as good as it used to be...(screw Bobby)
Also no crazy hours and good amounts of leave - personal and sick.

Can you give me an idea of what they will ask?
