I'm looking to switch into a tech job in the future, and I'm wondering if web development could be a good choice. Ideally, I'd like an interesting job with a good work-life balance, and I would even be willing to take a pay cut later in my career in order to have more free time. I'm hoping to get some insight into the profession. I have three questions:

  1. Is it hard to find a position in web development with good work-life balance

  2. I’m considering getting a bachelors in computer science from WGU. Is it worth it or is the self taught route better?

  3. Does anyone have any experience in the program?

You may be right about that, but the implication that there is an exact overlap between the least skilled and the unemployed is not true. Plenty of devs got laid off even by the most selective companies.

And they probably got hired by another company. My company layed off devs, and we're currently hiring permanent remote devs.
