Do not stop learning outside of work after you get your first web development job. If you do stop learning your career will stall and eventually technology will pass you by.
If you started your career without an education, keep learning by earning a certificate from a university in your time away from work.
You can take the college credits from your certificate program and apply them to an Associate degree, and then transfer the Associate degree into a Bachelor degree.
Challenge yourself and earn more money by taking on freelance work outside of your job. Freelance clients can also be a great way to network for future long-term employment.
