I chose for a level it, digital media and math A level

#

Absolutely, Computer Science is unnecessary for anything

#

Almost no universities require it

#

Also, honestly, imo, you don't need to pursue tertiary education in web development in order to have a career as a web dveloper

#

I'm a (employed) web developer without even learning it officiailly

#

Do you like doing web development and do you find it hard?

#

What do you mean by tertiary education

royal nimbus What do you mean by tertiary education

university-level studies

tepid warren Apr 19, 2023, 1:23 PM

#

royal nimbus Do you like doing web development and do you find it hard?

I love web development, that's why I do it over other types of development

#

but the thing is, it's very time-consuming

royal nimbus Apr 19, 2023, 1:24 PM

#

Oh I understand

#

Do you recomend me to do web design or web development

tepid warren Apr 19, 2023, 1:25 PM

#

definitely web dev

#

it's harder than web design but it pays better

#

If you like color theory and designs and all that (basically if you're very creative), you should be a web designer

#

If you like the coding side of things, be a website dev

royal nimbus Apr 19, 2023, 1:26 PM

#

Idk if I like coding cuz I've never tried it

#

Maybe I'll get development cuz I'm bad at being creative

#

It is very well paid?

#

Of course it's more than possible

royal nimbus Apr 19, 2023, 1:28 PM

#

If there is no tertiary education how can I get the job?

sacred night Apr 19, 2023, 1:28 PM

#

But to increase your chances, try pursuing various certificates and try doing many dev related courses just to showcase your interest in the same!
