I would recommend trying coding, and see if you like it. There are a gazillion options out there to learn online. You don't need to pay anyone. Here are some examples:
Anyway, try and get a taste of it and you'll probably know if you like it. If you do, definitely just work on a project in your free time. You don't need any qualifications to get a programming job, just skill. (In fact I'd say they are a bit of a red flag.)
Programming is a great career if you like it - very high pay for very little responsibility (outside game development anyway).
Thanks for these, going to look into them.
