Advice for a Sophomore

I'm in a cyber security degree, I've asked my seniors and came to know that the college won't teach me anything related to it. Nothing that I didn't expect. So Here's my routine, I'm learning Web-development, Just started bug bounty a little, thinking about starting flutter. I wish I could keep learning this everyday but the works from college and since I'm a day scholar, I get very little time for my own adventures. Somewhere deep within, I can sense the urge to dropout. I can surely learn by myself and learn better and faster than what they teach in college. I also want to move abroad, India isn't for me. By your experience, what do you think I should be doing differently?

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
