Struggling to figure out my best career move

I’ve recently quit my job and I’m currently out of work I’ve been doing frontend development for a while but I’m not sure if id see myself as job ready, I’m not certain what the best move is for me from here, if I should keep spam applying for apprenticeships or if I should go to uni for Computing and IT or how to really break into the field with my experience I’m 22 years old and don’t really know where to go from here, I really want to be a developer I just don’t know the path that will help me get there the easiest.

The easiest path to becoming a professional developer is a university degree. Its not the cheapest path though (in the US).

I’m based in the UK and I’m debating going through Computing and IT from the open university, unfortunately they don’t have computer science but their computing and IT does have a software route
