Yes. The trick is to frame your skill set in more generic terms. For instance, imagine an actor. Actors don't just play around on stage and quote Shakespeare all the time. More broadly, actors must: * Learn vast amounts of material in a short period of time * Work independently * Work as a team * Accept criticism * Show up on time * Meet deadlines (the show must go on) * Adhere to a strict schedule * Speak comfortably in public * Have good communication skills * Basic improvisational skills * Empathy How many of those do you think would be useful in a tech job? (Hint: all of them) Take what you know. Broaden the scope. Mix in some code and a basic portfolio. Get a junior position somewhere. It's possible. Good luck.
