There's pretty decent demand right now in some areas, but it depends on where you're located. Here in the bay area, there's good demand in SF and palo alto, but very few jobs in the east bay and lots of talent. But, it's all relative. You should compare it to your options available. In the mean time keep learning and developing your skills, read as much you possibly can about web development and learn the latest skills as well the backbone of all web development: HTML, CSS, AJAX, javascript and jQuery. Dont forget jQuery. Not many jobs may ask for it, but it's used everywhere and you will need to know something about it. If you like, go ahead and check out my site I'm developing for aspiring web developers such as yourself: It's filled to the brim with examples to learn from (you can play with the code without any setup), taking you step by step so you don't get lost: https://codeorc.com

The advantage of learning some of the newer technologies like Vue and React are that they haven't been around for too long. So, if you get 3 years of experience with that, you can be considered relatively senior. Just something to think about if you're totally new.
