Need help deciding whether to sign up for the Techdegree in a few days.

I'm understanding the thoughts and concepts about the front-end track and most of the code challenges (besides the some Javascript and the Jquery ones), but when I go to build something on my own I feel so lost and I have almost no clue where to begin.

I'm starting to think that I need more practice with the things I'm learning in the tracks when I'm learning them, like projects etc.

Also, getting through and learning by the docs is quite though for me at the moment.

I'm hitting a brick wall and wondering if the TechDegree could get me over this hurdle.

Has anyone else had a similar experience and has the TechDegree assisted you in retaining and building projects?

Thank you for you help and thoughts.

If you need hand holding than yes going the tech degree route would be the best option. Otherwise the cost WITHOUT any guarantee of a job isn't worth it too me.
