So.../g/ I'm 29...didn't pay attention in highschool.
My father passed away last week after taking care of him for 14 months (cancer), I've finally found what I enjoy in life and want to do.
I fucking love technology. I love every branch, I love the curiosity.
Downside?
I'm 29, no degree, no classes, just what I teach myself currently through discussions and lectures online.
How does someone my age go about building the ground work to get a career with Microsoft as a programmer?
Yes, it's a long shot.
Yes, I don't have the greatest math skills.
I'm ambitious as fuck, I don't quit.
How do I integrate the characteristics I have and the passion I've found for technology into a job, at such a late stage.
I constantly see 12 year old kids and shit just breezing through math, engineering.
It all seems so intimidating and I feel like nobody would take the time to work with me.
Classes seem to ahead of what I know (they require highschool cal classes, etc)
tl;dr
>29 year old anon finally realized he loves technology, has no previous education in math or science but what I've taught myself.
How do I make this a possibility?
Looking into computer science areas mostly, but I'm also interested in being game maker or programmer.
