Should I continue my Master's Program? (vaguely related)

I’m not familiar with this degree, but you don’t need a masters for web development. It helps a lot to have a Bachelors in Computer Science, but some people with an unrelated degree are able to self learn through online courses and make up for their lack of degree by creating a portfolio with projects, doing freelance work, and learning algorithms to pass coding interviews. But you need to be realistic, this path is really tough and there’s a lot of competition until you land a junior level job and many people don’t make it. I’m not saying this to be discouraging, but you need to be aware that it’s a highly competitive job market for entry level jobs. You also need to consider that the economy is doing poorly and hiring is slowing down and people are being laid off even in tech companies.

I’m not sure if you should drop out or not, it depends on your debt and how close you are to graduating. I don’t think the degree would help you if your goal is to be a frontend dev, the only degree that could help you is CS or a related degree. But completing your program also won’t hurt your chances either. Again, a lot of people aiming to be junior devs don’t make it so I would be really cautious about dropping your entire education.
