Web development, without a doubt. You can start making websites with basic HTML and CSS in within 2 weeks. You can then learn advanced concepts and some back-end language and easily make full stack apps in less than 5 months.
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="▶️" title="Nach rechts zeigendes Dreieck" aria-label="Emoji: Nach rechts zeigendes Dreieck">On the other hand, in order to become a data scientist you need to know quite a bit of complex math and even insights about the industry of data you& #39;re working on. Contrary to popular belief this doable without a college degree!
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⭕️" title="Fetter großer Kreis" aria-label="Emoji: Fetter großer Kreis"> However, this also means you have to learn math and then concepts of programming along with business, finance or the industry of the data you& #39;re working on which takes more time than web development.

Without a doubt, data scientists are paid more than web developers, however it shouldn& #39;t be your only consideration while choosing between the two fields.
How to get into web development?

For web development, @TechParida has these extremely detailed roadmaps for both back-end and front end development. https://twitter.com/TechParida/status/1309353944418865152?s=20">https://twitter.com/TechParid...

For Data-science, we have a set of three courses by freecodecamp which are a great way to start out.
Along the way you may require to learn math concepts fro which you can look at Khan academy, I recommend the Algebra II ,pre-calculus and calculus courses.
The finance course are also worth taking a look at. https://www.khanacademy.org/ ">https://www.khanacademy.org/">...
For doing projects in Data-science you& #39;ll require a lot of data.
Kaggle has you covered, this is the place where you& #39;ll spend most of your time polishing your data-science skills. http://kaggle.com"> http://kaggle.com 
Protip: Use Google collab for doing DataScience and VS code for web development

My advice would be to first try out both fields and then choose what interests you, for me it was data science doesn& #39;t have to be the same for you.

Good Luck!
