The answer is "yes". The "how" is more complicated. The trick is getting the
experience to reinforce the knowledge you gain through study. My first job
in IT included moving furniture, taking out the garbage, and shoveling snow.
After that I might be able to work on the computers. It's called paying your
dues. For the next job I was the only applicant who really had a clue about
networks. It was a small company. Luckily it grew to a world-wide presence.
My knowledge and experience grew with it.
There are many similar stories. The main point is to find the situation
where you can learn and grow. There are many good folks in this field who
will be glad to assist you. There are also a few who "have room for
improvement".
Learn something new every day. Be proud of your accomplishment. Be humble in
asking for advice. Never claim to know something that you don't. Buy
equipment as budget allows and practice. Good luck.
