Asad Awadia Thank you very much Asad, very helpful.

Hello Asad. My question is mostly on the backend side of things, the GUI will be doable (But thanks for your suggestion). Right now, I am considering using a HashMap to store objects, but I'm not sure if I understand correctly. Suppose I have HashMap A, and an instance of Person class person. I have methods to set the attributes of person, say they're ID, FName and LName. Would I be able to do something like: On form submit, set the attributes of the instance of person, for example: 1, John, Doe. Would I be able to add this instance of person (with those 3 attributes to HashMap A, add a new person with ID 2, and then retrieve all of their info from the HashMap like String fname = HashMap[1].FName?

I think you could do both if you find the time. If you already have some experience under your belt, which allows you to get jobs in the area, then you could think about going to a bootcamp to get better. University degrees are useful for getting higher-paying jobs. You will inevitably find an offer where they NEED you to have a degree, so it's good to get a degree to ensure a stable growth pattern in your career.
