Self teach for a while with free or cheap resources and THEN look into Nucamp!

do you think teaching myself for a month then going into nucamp dedicated with all this web dev stuff can land me a job in anything related to this or is it really slim im 21 yrs old n just need guidance on my career path

My personal opinion is to never go to any bootcamp expecting a job at the end. You might get a job and the bootcamp should be helping you, BUT you are paying a bootcamp to build a curriculum and to teach it (i.e. for education) and not for a job. That's a bit philosophical, but I've found everyone has a different path and you might get a job, but you also might need more training, or internships, or you might go to ML or Data Science, etc... and should always go to a program where you think it's a fair price for the improvement of skills you will get by the end and for the job.
