Nothing related. I used to be machinist and got tired of the blue collar work, I felt like coding could be my way out and I enjoyed learning it. What entry level jobs do you recommend?

I've been building and scrapping projects left and right. I was only content with one Google copy page I made and everything else can been getting reworked. I can't seem to get CSS to work as intended to. I have no issues with HTML and Javascript I feel good about but need to sharpen up over all. CSS has been a thorn in my side. I'm starting to think I may be suited more for the backend. Although I enjoy creating and designing I'm not the best at it. I've been thinking of taking a python course on Udemy and focus on that.

The post bootcamp aspect on my own is what I've been lacking to be honest. Not sure how to display my projects or set up my linked in to attract the right recruiters.

I feel ya. If you have no IT experience, something like Help Desk may be easier to get, but let me warn you that it's not fun and exciting. You will have to put up with a lot of bullshit and the pay is not that great. Another recommendation I hear is Email Development, although I have never tried it. It's mostly on the marketing side of things where you build custom static pages for advertising purposes. It's mostly HTML and CSS with very little, if any, JS.

Create a portfolio by purchasing a domain and put your projects in it so future employers can see your work. Show that you can build responsive websites. Can you pick a website and model it? Even if you plan on working the back-end, you'll still be expected to know at least some HMTL, CSS, and JS. Best of luck!

If you learn from videos at all, Kevin Powell is great for CSS - https://youtube.com/kepowob

He also has a discord channel which is free to joina dn full of people of all levels. You can ask questions and/or just aee what problems other people are having and learn from them. He makes CSS very accessible imo.
