You probably can, but consider that you will be competing against probably 20 other people if Google hires 1 out of 20 interviewed. This is just based on rough estimates,but: Ten will have a BS, five will have a MS, and one or two will have a phd. keep in mind this is if you get an interview. Everyone will be afraid of looking bad if they hire a dummy. What would you do?
