Being a software developer is a unique profession, since many software developers never received much formal training. For instance, many mathematicians, physicists, (non computer science) engineers write software for a living. Compare that with structural engineers, lawyers or medical doctors: it is very different. Because of that, I firmly believe many people can work as a software developer and contribute meaningfully to a company's bottom line. State your ambition and let the results of your work do the rest.
