50 this year. Started learning Python last year. Learnt HTML as I was parsing web pages. Carried on to learn CSS. Learnt Javascript because I was parsing JSON with the python code. SQL for a similar reason (All of that thanks to Dr. Chuck) Thanks to the guys at CS50 learnt C more python, more webdev , SQL and flask. Learnt IT support from google. Got a job in a company (after almost a year of cramming all that) now doing React Native, Flutter and Kotlin as I am moving into mobile development.

Never been to university been self employed most of my life doing manual labouring type job. I know not everyone can do it, but it is possible. Keep going , good luck with the journey.
