I went to art school - never even took a course related to either math or computer science. I discovered programming after college, fell in love with it, then taught myself. A couple years later, I took a job by someone who was willing to give me a chance.

I didn't know nearly enough at the time, but gradually I got the hang of it. It's definitely hard and you have to work at it, but if you're motivated, you'll do just fine.
