My son just turned 18 and graduated high school.
I started my career in coding at 30 and I often wonder where I'd be if I started earlier. Terrible habit.
If I had full control over my kids' lives - this is how I'd structure their careers as software engineers so they would be much further along in the game than I am at my age.
None of them want to be coders however so maybe this advice will help you.
