OP did not ask if they should pursue “web dev” vs “general/other dev”. That’s an assumption you’re making. I read this as “web dev” vs “do something else entirely” and in that light, the parent response is entirely appropriate.

Tangent: “general carpentry” is not a superset of plumbing/tiling/plastering. Carpentry is its own skill related to working with wood and similar products. Maybe you meant general contracting? Although that’s still not actually a superset and you won’t find that most general contractors are licensed for plumbing and electric work.
