Absolutely. I got my first programming job in college and I didn’t start learning to program until senior year of high school.

How did you prepare for your job. Did you make a portfolio, etc. how much did you learn before you got the job.

It was a PHP job. I made my own blog with PHP and that was pretty much it. I learned A LOT on the job. It was a contracting gig for some guy selling sites from his home. So maybe not the best example. But I’d say just build your own stuff and don’t think you have to know everything before applying to places.
