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?

    Here in the US, there are a plethora of web dev jobs available once you hit the mid / senior level. I’d say on a high-level that about 80% of them offer pretty good work-life balance. Every web dev job or gig I’ve had in the last 7 years has been extremely flexible.

    Happy to answer any other particular questions you have.
