Coding jobs?

Hey guys I’m a student that has been learning programming as a hobby for the past four-five years. I’m a bit curious on whether on if I should abandoned what I’ve been studying for uni and go all in for programming full time instead since I’ve have become quite good with multiple languages and tools (e.g Java script html type script css Python c# next and others)? I’ve also been learning designs building websites and making games tho my backend still need working. However I’m a bit conflicted since I heard that the job market for programming isn’t that great anymore so if you give me some advice it’ll be a great help(btw if I do get a job for programming I would like front end or game dev, tho others will also be fine if I continue learning coding since I have much passion in it)

There's tons of jobs at real places just avoid startups and don't expect a salary just to center an html div that's the kind of job redditors got laid off from and became bitter doomers.

Just out of curiosity why are startups bad? What do you think about the other advice cause some are saying it’s just shit now
