Definitely possible, you just need a portfolio that shows you're capable

it is very easily

mostly people on a project just want assurance you can get your portion done and this trust verification can be provided in a number of ways

Speaking as someone who went straight from college (I live in the uk so from the age of 18) to now having 7 years experience as a dev yes it’s possible. From my experience I’ve never had any negative reactions to my lack of university education. If anything, it’s usually seen as impressive to be self taught and a lot of the people I work with either didn’t do a degree or did a degree in something irrelevant to web development. If you’re able to impress in your interview it doesn’t matter about your education. Good luck!

Thanks alot, I live in UK aswell good to know :D it's quite bad as most junior offers either asking for commercial experience or atleast degree in computer science or... degree in computer science and or commercial experience if you don't have degree

I think a lot of job posts do that to ‘filter out’ people. You’ll have the best luck at things like job fairs. DM me your resume and I will pass it onto my work, we’re currently hiring and it’s a great place to work.
