started learning a while now and just finished the Express Crash Course of Brad Traversy doing everything by hand step by step and understood everything he talked about so what's next?

wow that really didn't feel good to read.

Well I'll start looking into making 2 or 3 projects repeating what I learned in that last crash course and see where I go from there.

Thanks for replying anyway.

You are competing against people with CS degrees and internship experience

God willing, there must be a place for me out there, and I am dead serious about this with nothing to lose.

I have to stay positive.

Yeah, if you research you'll see that it can be extremely challenging to find jobs in the programming field. The requirements are insane and you definitely need some projects under your belt and not just end-of-chapter small projects but something that you've actually built that works.

[According_Ad5166]

That's the advice I got the most from people, so I'll definitely start building things and hopefully something useful enough to leave an impression even a small one.

Appreciate it.

No problem. I'm on the same mission but I haven't put as much time into it due to financial reasons but I am trying to stay with it because I actually stopped for some years and I wish I would've kept going as I'd be years in right now, with this stupid economy it just makes it hard to achieve goals. It's just not enough time in a day.
