look up free udacity or udemy courses, follow them along, host the capstone projects as your portfolio, add to resume with technologies used etc.

>>I am 22
Has done nothing with the 4 years since getting out of high school, except play vidya, masterbate, and post on 4chan.
Everyone else you knew got degrees, got married, worked.

And now you want an easy entry into a good job - and better, one that allows telecommuting from home, which is usually the high end contracting work - without having worked for anything.

Is that about right?

Go get A job. Doing anything. Keep it for ONE YEAR. Then come back and talk about opportunities. Better yet, actually learn to DO something.

It does not matter. Mention EVERYTHING C#-related (everything programming related, in fact) you have done. It does not matter that the recruiter likes it or not, the point is to show that you can do something. And since you don't have education, you need to counter that with something.

>Almost every place wants experience of 1+ year with .NET and agile. Even the fucking intern spots.

You are a faggot if you think you have to check every checkbox. Job applications are descriptions of the perfect candidate they are searching.

Do not be afraid to apply for jobs where they ask for 1-2 years of experience or technology that you don't know. What is the worst that it will happen, ignore your CV?

I would be surprised if you weren't able to find some shitty helpdesk /desk support/application support job. There are loads of those, and IT is a field where there are plenty of jobs and where practical experience alone still can get you a job. Also, try to get some online education, or at the very least some certs, as soon as you get a job.

If you're as good as you say you are you should consider streaming/making youtube videos.
That's one of my goals but my PC isn't good enough for videos and I live in aus so my current connection can't handle streaming.

>he thinks i haven't tried everything to make league as a job
>streaming
Open the league category on twitch and scroll until the end. There are 200 challanger players on every region + actaul pros, I might be a top 0.02% player on my server, but there is still a bunch of us and everyone wants to make it. If you look at top 50+ male league streamers all of them are consistent challanger/master players AND atleast subjectively funny to some poeple, I don't talk, and especially try to be funny and iam not a native english speaker. Why would you watch me? I am nothing special.
>videos
League is not a youtube'able game, noone want's to watch a 40 minutes of gameplay. For anything more elaborate you need to edit, that's another skill to learn and a thing I don't enjoy doing. I rather work a real job.
>coaching
Again, I don't speak. I tried to coach my friends as a meme, but it's just cringeworthy for both of us listening to me to try to convey complex concepts.
>elo boosting
that's like wage slaveing. You get treated like shit from your boosting site overlords and play silver games all day to boost people to gold. You play 3-6hours for like 25 bucks. Iam not good enough to boost to master/challanger where the price range is actually good

it's as mind numbing and depression building as wage slaving.
You have to deal with dogshit teamates and act nice so you don't get chat restricted(or you are fired) and explain them basic concepts and how to win. just like you have to smile and talk nice to customers in a McDick even though they are as retarded as silver players. You have to literally clock in every day on the bosting sites and actively boost. You can't play 2 games then take an hour break, then return. You have to come and do a job or atleast 4+ hour of boosting. You have to focus on the game, because your pay depends directly on your results, so you can't browse 4chan or watch youtube.
If I could boost 1 account to challanger every 2 months for 10 grand I would do it. But I cant

I'll search for places that offer jobs related for programming and research what the majority of them do and try to make something related to it, with the now spare time I have, to add to my portfolio.
