As a web developer, I've seen the doom and gloom videos on YouTube claiming there are no junior developer jobs and that degrees and boot camps don't matter.

But in reality, getting into web development has always been hard. It's not just about having a degree or being self-taught; it's about doing the work to meet the requirements of the job you want.

I went the self-taught route and struggled for years before landing a job, and I'm still constantly learning.

Despite what you may hear, computer science degrees and boot camps do matter, and many employed developers have college degrees.

The key is to create a plan that works for you, whether that's attending a boot camp, pursuing a degree part-time, or building a product that could lead to self-employment. Don't get caught up in the hype; focus on what you need to do to succeed.

Key Points and Benefits:

• Web development job market is tough, but not impossible to break into
• Degrees, boot camps, and self-taught routes all have value
• The key is to create a tailored plan for your job search
• Constant learning and growth are necessary in this industry
• Don't believe everything you hear online; focus on your own goals ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqdi2QnCDms
