From an information security specialist to a programmer, is it possible?

Question

.NET

I'm graduating in a year and a half. I study at the Department of Information Security. Interesting, but I feel like it's not mine. Creating something is much closer to me. I considered vacancies for the position of a programmer ... Basically, in my city, 1c programmers and .NET developers are required.
Can I be hired as a programmer if I have a security diploma? And what should be done for this (besides self-study in the field of programming and studying various technologies)?

Answer 1

I don’t know what program you have, but the security guys who studied at my university had programming. I know for sure, because I made them courses in assembler :)
I don’t know the specifics of your city and the level of personnel shortage of local companies, but usually there are no problems with the arrival of low-paid trainee positions in any language. This is how I was hired at the beginning of the 2000s as a Foxpro programmer, although I had never seen him before. But this did not stop me from studying "in the course of the play" while I was thrown on business trips around Ukraine and Russia.
If you have 1C franchises in your city, then they definitely have an eternal hunger for new personnel and they are happy to take people even without the slightest work experience, since their employees tend to go permanently to the staff of companies that used to serve ( or in others, where they hacked away in secret from the management). And in the franchise staff, you can learn a lot of useful things that you would never have learned if you immediately left as a junior specialist in the 1C development team at some factory or chain store.
