Looking to start a career in IT/web development

Hey Im 25 and thinking about looking into changing my career to Web development. I have some questions though if anyone can help me.

Am I better off doing a course in Uni or doing courses on Html5, C+ and so on?

Also what are career opportunities like for IT and Web development, is it hard to get a job? And how well does it pay?
Thanks

I have no experience at all but keen to start looking more into and perhaps teaching myself some of the basics first, but wondering can someone guide me as to what I need to learn and what courses I should take? Also are there many jobs going in web development and are they hard to get employed in?

No experience whatsoever, its just something I've always wanted to try and Im just looking for advice on a path to follow?

So there are a lot of jobs going then?
