I've got 7 years commercial programming experiance and about another 11 non-comercial. I'm currently earning about $95,000 and have never failed a job interview.
Even if your in a low paid job stick at it, staying with a company for several years goes down well on a C.V. and if you get a better job they'll be more willing to give you training.
If your in a programming job don't bother getting programming certification, unless it's free, it's not really worth shit compaired to experiance. Try to diversify e.g. if you want to get into HCI work then study scicology and work as a programmer. Interests other than computers and porn are very important.
Most of the companies I've worked for have reasonable training budgets, and they will train you in any area you have short falls in, progamming work is ofen dogs body work, they want good managers and designers, and they'll help train you up. (I wish I'd taken the english course now!)
Try your best, keep focused and remember a couple of years isn't really a huge amount of time.

Sometimes it costs less to pay a person to manually correct data that is incorrect due to a fault in the core of a product, sometimes it's cost less to do a re-write.

General Ludd's Stone Age Co-ops "If we're living in an advanced society, how come we work more than 40 hours a week when most so-called primitive societies have work days of between 2 and 5 hours?!
How come we have resigned ourselves to the 9-to-5 clockwork grind and the hierarchy of work when less than two hundred years ago our ancestors fought tooth and nail against the introduction of factory work and wage slavery?!
This article makes the case that regimented work: is not natural or necessary means that our society is really the primitive slave society was resisted by ordinary people who rightly saw it as the theft of their freedom and humanity can be replaced by voluntary cooperatives and similar structures can be largely superceded by a merging of work and play in to "creative activity for it's own sake"
It's a myth that in paleolithic societies people spent all their time in a desperate search for food and lacked the leisure hours for non-subsistence activities.
Studies of the aboriginal population of Arnhem Land, Australia show that the workday amongst these hunter-gatherers averages five hours eight minutes. Further, the workload seems not to be especially tiresome, either physical or mentally. To the contrary, some aboriginal groups such as the Yir-Yiront make no linguistic distinction between work and play."
I wish it were the 1950's (BC) then I could work less hours, and be a lot more flexable.

Further, the workload seems not to be especially tiresome, either physical or mentally. To the contrary, some aboriginal groups such as the Yir-Yiront make no linguistic distinction between work and play. Among the Dobe portion of the !Kung bushmen of Botswana the average work week is approximately fifteen hours. In other words "each productive individual supporting herself or himself and dependents still has 3.5 to 5.5 days per week available for other activities". Among the Kuikuru people of the Amazon Basin the subsistence workday is 3.5 hours. The Kuikuru people spend a great deal of the rest of the time in dancing, wrestling, in some form of informal recreation and in loafing around. In Papua New Guinea "the Kapauku have a conception of balance in life [so] only every other day is supposed to be a work day. Such a day is followed by day of rest in order to regain lost power and health".
We live in an "advanced" civilisation where the base work week averages between 40 and 80 hours, exclusive of overtime, commuting time, time required for subsistence shopping and food preparation and time consumed in other domestic chores. The way labour time is organised is far more regimented and structured than in even the most rigidly structured indigenous society.
While it is undoubtedly true that industrial society generates a much greater abundance of material items than do traditional native societies, it is questionable whether this leads to a better quality of life, especially in genuine human terms such as sense of personal fulfillment, control over one's time and general peace of mind.
