You need two things: skill and accreditation. You can gain skill by studying or doing code camps, going to college, etc. The easiest way to gain accreditation is to follow what similar people did. If you go to a reputable college, your CV won't be rejected. If you do a coding camp, chances are your CV is going to get rejected a couple of times before you have a chance to do an interview. This is what I mean by accreditation. Don't be discouraged, there are a lot of opportunities and it mostly depends on you! If you wanted to be a doctor or a lawyer it would be much harder.

You don't need accreditation, but it will make things easier. I think that is what you are saying, but it bears clarification.

Thanks, I thought I made the point but thank you for clarifying.
