I can't decide what kind of technology interests me the most

I am driving myself crazy! I'd like to switch careers and currently I'm taking web dev classes but can't get passed CSS or finishing my first website project. I also like Digital Marketing, Instructional Design, and various areas of IT; and I see a lot of jobs in these areas. However, a few of these fields want BS or MS degrees (i.e. Instructional Design) while others I just feel would be too difficult for me to learn, anyway. I lack confidence and can't seem to organize my thoughts. Any advice/suggestions would be welcomed. Thank you.

I'd recommend this:- write down your current skillset- find out the required skills for each of the other fields you're interested in- map them and find out the one that you have the largest overlap in skillsetThat would be the easiest one for you to switch over. You should talk to people in those fields to better understand what their day-to-day job is like, take some time to think which one is a better fit for you and take it from there.

What aspects of web development are you focused on? If looking at front end, I really enjoy using Webflow. It's not for everyone or suitable for all projects. It's free to set up a limited site so you can see if it clicks for you.They have great content for learning and recently announced a 21 day design challenge to help learn the tool.https://webflow.com/https://university.webflow.comhttps://university.webflow.com/2021-portfolio
