Ask HN: Is web development still a viable career choice?

Hello HNers,

I am an aspiring web developer. I have been self learning for around six months and still have not found a solid path to follow. Six months sounds like a lot but realistically it has been a few solid weeks of learning since it is a side hobby that I hope will turn into my career.

Is the Web Dev job market in a good enough state that I should risk more time and money?

Thanks for any advice…
