Is it possible to get a job as a junior c# unity programmer at the age of 17?

Question

Career in IT

I recently turned 17 years old. In a family with money, tension, I want to get a job as a junior unity c# programmer. Never worked anywhere before.
I've been with the unit for 3 years already. Of course, he developed games. Not very hard, mostly when I was in the mood. I haven't posted them anywhere, either on steam or on other platforms. And all because he did not finish a single game to the end. Either there was not enough motivation, then experience, then something else.
In general, at the moment I know c # and unity quite well. In addition, I wrote regular and compute shaders, doing 3d modeling and photogrammetry .
With English, I have everything more or less, I can translate most of the words and sentences, but I can’t speak fluently. Because there is no practice. I usually meet him only on the Internet, in some articles, documentation or videos.
I don't plan to go to university.
Perhaps I studied everything except English by myself using the Google method, from lessons on YouTube, various articles, etc. I have not read a single book on programming.
Is it realistic to find a regular job with such input data? Maybe you need a portfolio or some open-source project, for example, on github? Will my age be critical for employers?
Or will it be easier to go freelancing?

Answer 1

Do you need to ask about this before starting the search?

there are some problems with official employment under 18, but on the whole it is solvable.

Answer 3

of course real

Answer 4

It is quite real, especially if the city of your residence is a millionaire.
As for the institute, I would advise not to get excited, but to enter some state university for "informatics" where the competition is not very high, you can also go to school or for an evening. The university is preferably pedagogical or humanitarian, where there will definitely not be tension with sessions and five different higher mathematicians.
Firstly, this will allow you to take advantage of student programs such as Work & travel (I don’t know if it works now) and visit other countries and learn the language there, and secondly, there will be a crust about almost specialized education, which can also play a role later at work and when relocating to another country (anything happens).
