I came from teaching high school Algebra with a Political Science degree to being a full-time developer. One of the lovely things about this industry is nobody really cares about the path you took to get here; it's all about whether you understand the problems and can do the work well. My tech career started by walking into Barnes and Nobles and buying a "for dummies" book on C++. That was a decade ago; these days you have a ton of better/interactive resources at your disposal. The biggest determining factor is: Do you enjoy this kind of work? If you like it, just keep honing your stills. Finish one class, take another one. See if you can do some cheap work for a few clients to build up your portfolio. Before long you'll be able to look at a hiring ad and say "I can do that!" If you'd really rather do technical writing or corporate training, those opportunities are there as well. But don't feel limited by your "current" skill-set. NOBODY is born knowing this stuff; we were all in your position once.
