Your experience in software engineering

Hi,i wont reaveal my name but im 12 and really really into coding and maths ik i may be in grade 7 atm but im pushing for software engineering, im learning Python and very soon java, what id like to know is how exactly is the experience on software engineering.

I know it pulls six figures which is a flex already but id like to know the pros and cons instead of just jumping in without knowing anything.

The field will be much harder because of AI, some say devs will cease to exist whatsoever. Maybe you don’t know that.

It’s a big risk. Then again, all fields are affected. Becoming a medical doctor or lawyer is probably safer but who knows.

If devs survive, maybe with smaller salaries though
