[META] Already paid for the tuition for Web Developer Course, but now i am having second thoughts. Need some advice .

I always wanted to have a career in something related to computers. Last year i inquired about coding bootcamp from Galvanized , but decided to just work another job because it is expensive . (25K)

A year has passed and i saw an ad for Coding bootcamp , same thing as the course offered by Galvanize, and it is cheaper. I decided to pull the trigger . I applied and got in. The tuition is around 10K . I payed the tuition already.

Then today, i realized that what if i dont get hired after graduation? What if the school is hard and i cant understand anything? Then end up failing the course .

I read about the job and employment rate for web developers which is good (15+% growth in 2024) , they make good money. But what if by the time i graduate , the market is fully saturated ? Or worse , i would end up holding a 10K piece of paper ?

I do not have much of a coding experience other than basic HTML and CSS. And some minor tweaking in a notepad for games that run on basic note editor . ( server for Ragnarok Offline )

I know reddit is full of developers, i need advice if i should proceed.

Thank you so much in advance.
