How to choose between front and back-end?

Question

Career in IT

Hello.
Until recently, I wanted to become a full stack, but after going through the list of knowledge and skills that are required from full stacks, I went a little crazy and decided to put the idea aside and choose a specialization.
But then I came across the fact that for many years I worked as an enikey worker, solving small technical business problems and from web development skills - only good layout by hand (without preprocessors, assemblers and any other tools - only VS Code, psd-layout and methodical driving in tags and selectors
I want to choose one of the directions and develop, but I can't figure out how to choose: front or back?
On the same Hexlet, the training of each of the professions (front js or back python) is laid down for 4-7 months, if you teach consistently, then I can learn Zen and make a choice in a year and a half, but I want to now.
What did you base your choice of specialization on?
PS I guess that back-developers can rummage a little in the layout and front-end, and front-developers can close some task from the back. But how to choose the very first path?
PPS And if you choose the first language for learning the backend, which is better - php or python? So far for web development purposes only.
Thanks in advance for your experience and opinions, I'm happy to like everyone and mark the solutions.

I can learn Zen and make a choice in a year and a half, but I want to now.

If you can’t choose but you want to, then it doesn’t matter whether you ask on the toaster or toss a coin. I would toss a coin - so at least you can pretend that this is your own choice, and not some dude on the toaster advised.

Answer 2

Answer 3

Full stack because I'm a full stacker
