Welcome to the group Dan! It is definitely possible, I've done it and I've seen multiple others do it too. I worked in the industrial field and had many days where I was in a meeting, driving, onsite with no access, you name it. What you need to commit to is using your hours outside of work to learn. Go through the courses, watch the recordings, replay the day to practice what you've learned, collect the data, and make sure you have an edge that's profitable. Once your back testing looks good and your comfortable/confident, start paper trading live. This is the hard part. You have to accept that you're going to miss some trades, it is what it is. Keep pushing and don't let the delay affect you emotionally. Once you've done the same with paper trading live and feel comfortable/confident with profits showing (much more than a week or two and 5-10 trades), then you could look at a prop account. Same thing as before though, understand you're going to miss some trades and prepare for it. It's a slower road, but it's possible. Alerts are your friend, so learn to be efficient with them. Hope that helps, but let me know if you have any questions
