Yes you can just continue to practice, practice, practice. In addition learn what you want to do int he job market don't want to learn something you don't like and apply it to real world jobs.

Yes, it is. I'm the perfect example. I actually studied mechanical engineering. But with diligent work, patience, persistence and taking initiative I'm not full time employed Software Developer. Within two years I have even become the expert in my team. And in a few months I'm going to be officially a full stack developer (Java, HTML/CSS/JS, SQL) in an international company. Never give up. Fight for your dream! If I can do this, so can you! :)

hi anthony well i am starting with html as from the resarch i have done it seems to me that you can learn the concepts of harder languages. through gaining knowledge of the concept. how long do you think gaining knowledge etc.. before you could go for a job in this field and show enough for them to consider taking you on as obviously we are learning every single day? sorry for more questions

It depends most employers want to the "perfect" Programmer in reality they won't get you need to start small and solve little problems first to get and idea of how a problem is configured. Believe me you will mess up in the beginning but with some persistent coding you can land that job in time. Also expect some pseudocode and code challenges for interviews.
