I worked five years in tech. 2 years was tech support, but the later 3 years was in web programming and site integration. Due to personal crises, I had to leave my job in 2002. I would like to get back in to the field. I have a Java Programmer certification from Sun. I have experience with Perl, HTML, JavaScript, and all sorts of front and back-end languages. I have no degree. I was self-taught and broke in during the dot.com boom, and lasted through its decline as well.
Is there any chance in the world I can get back into the field? My ultimate goal is programming. I live in L.A. which I believe might be a more flexible markets than elsewhere; but am not sure of the current state of tech employment and especially how I can get back to where I was.
Thanks,
Brian
