Before someone can provide ‘brutal’ opinion, share what are you doing at this point.

Also what is ‘wanna enter IT field’ ?

@TheOatmeal medicore jobs of self employed share trading and providing some consultancy to friends nd family. managed some odd jobs within tier-2 city supporting local business.

now i wanna be serious and seriously achieve something worthwhile in life with a good paying job. i liked web development, currently doing theodinproject and teaching myself Python with Daniel Liang and Mark Lutz books.

i feel totally lost and confused if i can make it or am i really wasting my time, giving myself a false hubris!!

Take some time out and research about some roles. As an mba try project management if possible. Research what is PMP, Scrum master etc.

Once done. Research a bit on how to show this on resume. This should give you the entry on IT side.

"Accomplished" is a very relative term! It means different for different ppl. So, stop falling for FOMO or comparing yourself. Its normal for everyone to be harsh on themselves or beat themselves up. But you'll have to put in some effort to pick your self up. You have a looong way to go, so don't worry!

UPDATE :
a friend of mine suggested to do Salesforce Admin certification and developer certification later. The initial pay will be less, but at the least, I'll be entering some corporate job for comfort
