How can one work from home full time? Can a computer programmer do it?

Question

Hello,
I’m 20 years old guy who works as a teacher at the moment and feeling not satisfied at all and I want to quit next year and find something new in life to do.
I have no other talents, I teach math and play video games but that’s all..
I’ve discovered I have some problem with being too long out of home..
I once tried working as a deliever and I had to stay until 6–7pm since morning and I hated it so much and it really screwed up my mentality and I became sick and depressed until I quit and moved to being a teacher which I only work until 2pm or less and it’s close to my home.
I really don’t want to work far from home till late so I decided I really want a work from home job but it’s not simple at all to find one especially with my non existed talents..

I realised I need to learn something new in my life in order to succeed.. I searched online and I saw one of the most needed jobs is programmer or QA

So I called my friend and he gave me his courses that he bought for Python and Java so I can learn but I haven’t started yet..

I want to know if I learn it and become good at it… Can I work from home with that knowledge and can I make enough money to live through each month? I really am not looking to become rich..

Do you have to get BSc in order to get jobs in programming?

If not programming, what kind of job would u recommend that I can work from home as full time?

Anything you can add I’d love to read

Thanks

Answer 1

Most work-at-home programming jobs require at least a bachelor's degree, and several years programming experience, a year or more for that same company.

Answer 2

I telecommuted for ten years but, first spent six years working at the company. Full-time telecommuting is possible but, usually reserved for high caliber knowledge workers.



My point is, it's rare for someone to be hired to immediately work from home (Though it does happen) but, those direct hires have years of experience and are likely to quickly become productive and need little supervision.
