Hey guys, im in a crossroads at the moment i just turned 25 and only realized now that I really want to go into coding, Ive always had a passion for web design, but recently ive read up that with website/services like wix ect. web designers wont really be in high demand in future years. What would be the next best path to go down on java maybe? or is the stories ive been reading up on bolony? and that there is actually a great future for web designers.
Thanks for reading this and any info would be awesome!
Have a nice day!

And packaged design services like WIX aren't new, but they generally appeal to a different audience than would hire custom developers. Plus, many larger organizations employ web designers full-time. And if you're a designer/developer, that puts you in even higher demand.
But Java is also a high-demand skill, acquiring it would only increase your potential value in the marketplace (and so would Python, for that matter).
