Goal: Now that you know the basics of what UX design is. You’re fully convinced that you do want to pursue it. I highly recommend doing a course coz it will streamline the course of action for you and you will not get lost.
I personally don’t believe in bootcamps coz everybody does the exact same projects and come out with identical portfolios.
But with courses, you have a path and you can choose your own projects and rabbit-holes to go down since it’s self paced and you can choose to spend more time in areas that you’re finding interesting.
But there’s also a caveat with self paced courses — they’re self paced. It’s very easy to get lazy and unmotivated.
