Maeriz1,
Yes you can adjust it yourself. It is not difficult except for getting at it one must be a contortionist. The switch is located somewhere under the Instrument Panel or in some cases under the Hood near the firewall dependant upon what make and model the vehicle is. It will be mounted typically close to where the Clutch Push-Rod goes through the floorpan. Adjusting it requires loosening the Mounting Screws and re-positioning the switch so that it is actuated sooner. Typically move it in the direction opposite the direction the Clutch Push Rod travels to release the clutch. If the vehicle is equipped with a Hydraulically actuated Clutch, the Switch will be located near the bottom of the Instrument Panel with an Arm attached to the Clutch Pedal near the pivot point, Move the Switch closer to the actuating arm. I sincerely hope this information helps you.

a very hard depression means I practically have to stand on the pedal before the switch is actuated so that I can achieve ignition.
What defines a "Very HARD Depression? Do you mean just all the way to the Floor? Or do you mean beyond all the way to the floor? Literally pushing it as hard as one can push. You can adjust the switch but it generally isn't an easy thing to do. It requires one to be a contorsionist to get at it. Might I suggest taking it to a dealership or other facility with ASE Certified Mechanics to have it properly adjusted.
