It is reasonable. If you have time and are willing to put in the effort I can forcefeed you resources, and review code and such. I've raised a few ML babies. Mooc are probably the wrong way to go. Thats where i started and I got stuck for a while. You really need to be knee deep in code, and a notebook.
As for getting jobs I cant help you with that part. You'll have to do your own networking, etc.
