You could start working for google as a volunteer to prove your value; why not start by going through the dictionary from A to Z, then pasting the words between " www." and " .com" in the adress bar on your browser? Write down the results in a sort of Samuel Johnson style, and send your manuscript in to HR; I'm sure they'll find work for you!And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument?

What were you doing before then? It seems you're currently working in support. How do you enjoy that?
Just curious like.
EDIT: why not try this test and see if you're cut out to be programmer?
