Web Development as a Career? (programming.dev)

I'm looking to switch into a tech job in the future, and I'm wondering if web development could be a good choice. Ideally, I'd like an interesting job with a good work-life balance, and I would even be willing to take a pay cut later in my career in order to have more free time. I'm hoping to get some insight into the profession. I have three questions:

  1. Is it hard to find a position in web development with good work-life balance

  2. I’m considering getting a bachelors in computer science from WGU. Is it worth it or is the self taught route better?

  3. Does anyone have any experience in the program?
