Web3 or App dev path, any wisdom will be appreciated

[TLDR: Should I start learning web3 stuff and ditch the Android path, please read my 3 questions below(at the bottom) to answer my doubts ]

I am currently a 2nd year student in 3rd semester, in my 1st year I explored a bunch of domains like web development, front-end stuff, cyber security like Metasploit, app development, cloud(Aws)

I decided to stick to app development and learned Flutter and in 4 months of learning and side-by-side project building I landed my first remote internship(India only) and it will end this coming November around the 10th or so,

I have figured out I don't like the front end at all and now I don't see myself as an app dev because I don't enjoy working on this

I am thinking of switching to web3 tech stack which has things like working on eth, and Solana blockchains etc., this field piques my interest on a philosophical level which is one my prime motivators for all the actions I take related to my career besides money

Here are my questions (senior people also please bestow me your wisdom)

  1. I learned Flutter which is relatively easy to other frameworks in 4 months and got an internship, is my speed good? I was a commerce student in school with basically no coding knowledge before college and I have heard you need to adapt fast, do you think this is good enough or I should improve in this area

  2. Should I start learning web3 and ditch the app dev path, I am thinking of committing to web3 for these 2 coming years because I will graduate in 2026, and my college has no placement, I have learned solidity for now.

  3. If I stick to web3 for a few years and become proficient at it, will it affect the money in my career because by 2 years I will have huge family responsibilities

Give up on Flutter right away if you want to pursue app development... Select native instead (iOS dev will work well if you have a Mac).

Although you mentioned that you dislike frontend, web3 also has frontend.

Two types of blockchain developers exist: Blockchain engineers/developers and Blockchain App Developer

Make sure you have a solid understanding of web frontend and backend if you choose to use web 3.

If you are not placed in a web3 company, learning the frontend and backend of development will help you land a job in the majority of startups or companies.
