There's a lot of courses in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) [1] site which you can dip your hands first to try to learn some technical stuff.

You can also go to the Free Code Camp[2] where you can get some real-world training in software development. They have a lot of stories[3] as well showcasing people who were self-taught and now have stable careers in the technology field.

Career opportunities would come as soon as you have showcased that you are capable of learning and solving technical stuff. But you got to start first by learning the ropes of software development.

Best of luck.
