As the first poster says, find a company willing to train you. At your stage, you are not expected to know a lot, but if you show strong aptitude, companies will be interested.
I guess I should warn you, however, that most of the work you describe, i.e. building a system from the ground up, gets outsourced nowadays to overseas companies, where the programmers get paid much less. Developmental programmers used to command a lot of respect. Not anymore.

Me too, why would I help my competition? Your best chances of that happening are to go back to school my friend, and don't come out EVER! But unfortunately that won't make you any money which somewhat diminishes knowing it all.
Seriously though unless you know a guy who knows a guy that knows a guy thats the CEO of Microsoft then you are most likely going need a degree that at least has the word programmer/programming in it.
The degree I'm about to start entiled Programming/Application Development for instance. Once you get your degree then you find classes on extra languages you wish to add to your vocobulary and read lots of books.

Having complete each and each, i'm going to assert that being a community administrator is like being a Marine: ninety% boredom. 10% sheer terror. i'm no longer going to tell you precisely how lots I make, whether it particularly is between $50-100K. maximum time previous regulation is planned, whether i've got additionally usually been "salaried" or "exempt", so additionally it particularly is no longer a huge deal if I leave a pair hours early on a slower day to look my youngster's soccer game. there is often coffee. the guideline of thumb for it particularly is which you in user-friendly terms might desire to be waiting to advance a minimum of 60 lbs. i don't get maximum interaction with co-workers. that's what the helpdesk techs are for.

I would start by reading this book: http://www.amazon.com/Code-Complete-Second-Steve-McConnell/dp/0735619670/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-6429782-2148926?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1173380365&sr=8-1
I do agree with the other posters that getting a job without the degree isn't easy. It's not impossible, though. A sick building chased me off campus after 3 years.

you need school of somesort...
there is no easy way with out it..besides see how easy it would be for you to go ..you know so much already..
try challenging the first and second year exams... maybe start 3rd year
