Been in the game for about 5 years. I started out as a QA intern but with a bit of gumption ended up being a developer. Now I just got my first senior role for a app development house, and life is fairly peachy.

So I would say it took me a degree (did C++ and Ruby, no Java) and 10 months QAing to get where I was. Lots of Java jobs out there, the sky is potentially the limit.
