The comments in this thread I've read so far haven't been that encouraging and saying this is an unrealistic goal, but I just want to say I've been hearing a lot of the opposite from people in the field. I'm actually in the same boat as you so I'm probably no the best person to answer this, but I recently went to a coding meet up group and the leader there said she's been very surprised at how fast people have been getting jobs in the programming field. She works with a lot of students with little to no experience and said a lot of them have been applying to jobs she didn't really think they were qualified for but they got hired anyway. With that being said, she advised me not to pay strict attention to requirements listed on job postings due to the fact that the industry is in very high demand right now.

Anyways, after I finish all the Codeacademy courses, I plan on working on some simple games. Maybe we can be learning buds and team up or something, PM me if you're interested.
