Yeah I hear you. The problem is, I kinda like both (but know already some stuff about web). The reason why it's so hard for me to decide is that the cost of the bootcamp is pretty steep.

I come from post-soviet country and the tutor fees are basically my whole life savings (purchasing power/salaries are basically 5-7x lower than western EU states). That's why I'm so hesitant to choose one or the other.

You don't need a boot camp. There are plenty of good books on these topics, which are fairly inexpensive. Also, stack overflow (for all it is ridiculed) is a great place to ask a question if you are confused about something. Also, https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/A_re... is a great way to learn javascript.

Yeah I know I don't "need" it but what you're suggesting is actually what I've been doing for past year or so. I need a push to turn this into career, hence the bootcamp (they also say they set up interviews after bootcamp).
