Thank you everyone for all your advice. My hours at my job have been increased for the new year, and I have more responsibilities, so I will definitely be staying at my current job. I will continue working on the various bootcamps and I will see what opportunities open up. I will have some volunteer web development opportunities in the near future.

Regex is a language.  Memorizing vocabulary and grammar of any language is
unnecessary (if even possible), but memorizing 2% and understanding some basic
structure rules can get you astonishingly far.  Having a good dictionary or
reference site is always useful too.  ☺  I keep one of these on my desk:
