I am a professional pilot. I have 1500+ flight hours and a jet rating. I have done exactly one paid flight in 25 years. All you need to be a professional programmer is to be paid once to do programming (development). Then you are not an amateur anymore. Doesn’t need a degree. Doesn’t need to be good. Just needs a penny of pay/revenue. Good luck!
