these comments are always discouraging to me. i work in a different field (sysadmin), and i've been struggling to get a job programming. am i that bad at programming? or that bad at finding work?

i feel like i know the basics of several languages as well as html, css, sql and git. i wrote an IT-ticket system for a healthcare clinic in python consisting of a basic html form and a SQL database backend (i know this isn't terribly impressive to adept programmers, but i've been applying to the most entry-level programming positions). i also specialize in powershell, which is object-oriented, even if it isn't used for enterprise level web apps. and that hasn't been nearly enough to get a job, at least in pittsburgh.
