I'm a Software Engineer and a teacher.
There's no feeling quite like the one you get when you watch someone's eyes light up learning something they didn't know.
Many times companies post a list of requirements, but not all of them are hard requirements. They are more like a "shopping list" of things the "ideal" candidate would have.
Try to read between the lines to see what it is they actually need and what's just "nice to have"s.
At the end of the day, if you aren't sure if you qualify, apply anyways and let them decide.
You will get rejected from 100% of the jobs you don't apply to.
Started learning to program seriously early 2017. Love fixing problems so decided to switch careers from e-commerce and management to programming and web dev. Longterm goal is full stack developer.
Great suggestions on where to get some experience.
I just wanted to reiterate what @ben said.

Thank you, very encouraging.
Hehe, the gretzsky would be proud I think.
