Web developing/design jobs and education?

Recently I've found an interest in website developing.. I started using Microsoft Visual Web Developer.
I was wondering if I could just learn this myself and get any related jobs? do I need to have a certain education or anything?

Obviously qualifications/training always help, but they're not essential. If you're good enough to learn it yourself, then I would suggest building yourself a portfolio of site designs that you can provide to potential employers.
