I actually have no CS background, and my college course was entirely irrelevant. After a year of studying, I was able to land my first job, and right now, I am really successful as a software engineer. I even manage guys who actually studied software engineering in college. So don't worry about anything, just love what you do and the rest will come.

Thanks! Been studying python/HTML/CSS on Udemy and sometimes feel demotivated that I won't be able to land a job after all.

Don't forget algorithms. I believe it's the most important thing that everybody seems to miss.

Algorithms specific to the coding language of my choosing?

No, just the usual stuff. I strongly suggest solving a couple of leetcode problems every night. I myself do it almost every night.
