Hi. I just started learning HTML, CSS, and the basics of JavaScript. Unfortunately, I started a bit late, and given my current situation, I need to find a source of income as soon as possible.

Right now, I'm deciding between two options. The first is to apply for a job that isn't related to tech so I can earn money while studying web development at my own pace. I could spend one or two years learning without the pressure of strict deadlines.

The second option is to apply to a company that offers a bootcamp. While this seems like a great opportunity because I would gain real-world experience, I know it would also be very stressful since I'd have to learn everything within just a few months. It would be a brutal learning experience.

Knowing myself, I don't think the second option is the best fit for me. However, my family wants me to give it a try. I previously found a global company that offered a bootcamp, but I wasn't able to attend the interview because of financial reasons. Recently, I found another company that also offers a bootcamp, but it requires employees to sign a bond after employment. I've been thinking about whether it's worth taking the risk, especially since I'm still new to web development and only have a basic understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

If you were in my situation, what would you do? Would you take the bootcamp with the employment bond, or would you get a non-tech job first and spend a year or two building your programming skills before trying to enter the tech industry?

Would it be the best if I go home or stay?

Hi! I’m a recent graduate and I’m currently applying for jobs online. I lived in the province until I graduated. After graduation, I moved to the city, hoping to find a job, but I’ve faced a lot of rejections.

I have no work experience, and although there are a few jobs that accept applicants with no experience and provide training, I still got rejected. It has been three months now, and I’m worried that if I can’t find a job soon, I won’t be able to pay my loan.

Right now, I have two options.

The first option is to go back home and temporarily work as a service crew at a fast-food restaurant while I save money and continue to upskill. However, if I return home, I won’t have an ideal place to stay. We have a house, but there’s no Wi-Fi, which is very important for my plan, and I also won’t have the support system of my siblings.

The second option is to stay here in the city, even though finding a job is more difficult because of the high level of competition among applicants. If I do get a job, I’ll also have to pay rent and other living expenses. Since entry-level salaries are usually low, I’m worried that I still might not earn enough to pay off my loan.

I’m having a hard time deciding which option to choose because there are so many factors to consider, and I’m afraid either decision could turn out to be the wrong one.
