It sounds like you lack tenacity. Unless I'm completely misreading you, you're saying you started learning things to help you get into a web development job, but then gave them up because... you couldn't get a web development job yet? Why did you drop the thing that would put other jobs in reach? > I stopped because everyone said Python (which is awesome) and I just had a rougher time learning it than JS. Whatever you're learning, someone will come along and tell you that something else is better. Ignore them. The first programming language you learn is teaching you to program, which is far more important than which language it is. You're learning transferable skills that you'll take with you when you learn something else.
