In need of help and encouragement

We are in the same boat or I must say I was. I am a mechanical engineer so it was all new to me as well and it still is. I can precisely understand what are you feeling and all the frustration. But let me tell you one thing people may tell you it's easy , alas! it's not although it makes sense after sometime. Coming back to the question of Python, again I precisely know why you chose python because you read it on various forums saying python is relatively easy to learn, am I right??

Even I chose python first on treehouse but then I realized why am I learning python exactly?? If you have the answer for that question you are good to go. And I have done some html css javascript but don't even think for a second that if you complete the track you have all the knowledge and waalah! you have the next big hit software, application or whatever. That what I thought but when you really do something yourself, you miss a few things, actually a lot.And when that frustration creeps in, you got to have the answer why are you studying the particular track? People said on the forum so that's why you should, really?

No one can give you the so called career advice, figure it out for yourself. While you are figuring it out learning basici structure of the website, i.e, html and css never hurt anybody.

Again as I said I am no expert, what I am saying is it's all upto you, you will have a good job if You master a particular skill. Perhaps other people can give you more advice who are actually doing this stuff in real life. Good Luck bro.

I'm not sure if I were convincing you or myself lol.

And you may have an outstanding carrer just by completing a track, who knows :). Just find the answers.

And lastly, I forgot :P, perform an action or something, encouragement , motivation will find you. Good luck bro.

@Tushar Singh Thank you so much for responding to my post. It was very enlightening and eye-opening. I can see that we are alike in most areas, including choosing Python as a first language to learn. The frustration is certainly real but I must say, I'm going to keep on trucking and finish my Python course. I must admit, I primarily chose Python as my first language because of the consistent hype around its easy learning curve and readability. I'm not totally regretting this track but I'm constantly tempted to explore other languages because I feel that they are more in demand and popular (not that I even have a clue as to what is in demand right now.) I guess all in all, I'm eager for a career change like, yesterday, and I just want to be certain that I'm not wasting my time learning one language. I even started learning HTML and a little bit of CSS before I totally jumped into Python. It's like, I can't really decide on what to focus on. I will continue to be diligent in finishing this track and then I will do more research in hopes of finding what I REALLY want to master. Again, thank you so much for taking time out of your day to help me.

Don't worry bro. As I said You are somewhat like me. I am a mechanical engineer in a marketing job and now learning JavaScript, I think You get the idea. Just explore and explore if you want to no harm in that.

" I will continue to be diligent in finishing this track and then I will do more research in hopes of finding what I REALLY want to master."

I think You solved your problem.

And moreover I have realized that actually the basics remains the same no matter what. Whether it is python or javascript or whatever. Good luck with Python then.
