The money is largely in web dev for young devs. I am one of them. But, I am trying to hone my skills in deployments that utilize raw programming so that I can shift over to software dev or any other pivots later on. It's just a great arena to get started in and can teach so many things that will be used later on.

Plus, the barrier to entry in software firms is much higher and they seem to look more carefully at credentials/pedigree/degrees. So, not having much in the way of that since I was self-taught, web dev is how I get my foot in the door and start building, which is what we all are here to do anyway.
