Some people are studying JS for a couple of months and getting a solid career out of it, but not most people. Networking, credentials, and the internship pipeline all still matter, as much as we might wish they didn't. Having said that, there's probably no better year in history than 2020 to defer college for a year, if you have that option. So if you can afford it, defer for a year and try an online boot camp! (Try to get into one that won't charge you up front.) See if you can land a remote internship. If you make it, you can decide whether to stick with it or whether to go back to school in Fall 2021. The boot camp experience will probably help you in your freshman year of college anyway.
