Can I apply for J1 after being denied?

I have a guestion about my visa denied 10 years ago I have been on J1 au pair program, get back home. Then I quit college and start to work. Then I applied for tourist visa and got denied twice for 214b reason. After that I have finished my bachelor and master degree, Then I started my second master degree and got J1 for work and travel program, got back home to my classes and then I got approved time off or pause from university to do internship in purpose of research for thesis for 1 year in my country and I did that. After that I applied for internship in the U.S. and got visa denied twice for 214b reason even I was still full-time student and have university approval. After that I quit my master because I want to change my

major. I will enroll in my second major that is in high demand jobs in my country and I would like to go on work and travel during summer break but according to my previouse visa denied I am concerned that I cant applied again. I also like training program but I think they will not approve visa for that program since they denied for internship.

There is really no way for anyone to speculate on the chances of you getting the visa this time around.  You can try to apply and present all relevant evidence but also have backup options for what you might want to do if the J-1 is denied, like maybe getting a H-1B if you are going to be working for an organization that is exempt from the H-1B annual quota.
