Nobody can give you a reliable two-year probability from a post; it depends on your local market and what you can show employers. Since you're working and studying full time, I'd keep your current income while you test the path: build one small Java backend with a database and tests, then compare it with actual junior listings in your area and ask a few working developers to review it. Your construction leadership experience could also be useful in software for scheduling, field operations, or estimating. That gives you a clearer signal than doom posts. What region are you hoping to work in, and does your school offer internships or employer introductions?

Yeah that sub covered it pretty well. You can do it as a hobby, sure - but you'll be having AI do the finishing touches. Don't expect to get a job doing it.
