28 years and still not sure....

Hi guys, I'll try and keep it short. I was introduced to HTML at Uni in 1996, I was instantly fascinated by it but it ran for only one module (I was studying theatre studies at the time).

Fast foward into 2017 at 41y, whilst working as a teaching assistant and having my first child..I still was unsure as to what I actually liked doing but my mind went back to my experience at Uni. I decided to venture deeper & did many HTML & CSS courses on Treehouse, Code academy, Odin Project, FreeCodeCamp, making static websites all the familiar routes, plus learning the early steps of Javascript (arrays, boolean etc).

The more I did, the more I liked it but every step of the way, life got in the way, had another baby, stress of work, other commitments and to be quite honest, when I found a challenge too tough, it was easier to just leave it and that would end up being for months.

At 48y, I work in a Library now (which I love). The topic of web development always comes up, whether it's members looking for books or if the creative team want to build a website. I always lend a helping hand (as much as I can) which makes me think...

is it too late to give it a go again now the children are a bit older? Has the web development changed from like 8 years ago? Am I too old to get into the world of Web development?

I think I always scared of pursuing it as a career because I'm not from an IT background, low confidence etc.

Would love to hear your thoughts or if you have had a similar experience

That was long!
