I'm trying to figure out the best learning roadmap to become a hireable full stack developer within the next six months. Should I start with the Odin Project and then build projects, or should I go through CS50 first and then tackle the Odin Project? I'm really looking for advice on this because I want to be employable soon. If anyone has experiences or alternative suggestions, I'd love to hear them!

To be honest, becoming employable in six months through self-teaching is pretty tough. The job market right now is pretty competitive for entry-level programmers. In fact, most would recommend extending your timeline to at least a year or more to build a solid foundation that'll actually get you a job.
I'm in a tricky situation too because I graduated in a different field and want to shift careers. I currently want to get a job in my degree's field, but I'm considering starting to learn software development on the side. Do you think that's a good plan?
