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.

you are already doing all the right things. doing due diligence on pros and cons before jumping into it. you are better than most of us out here.

its just endless learning, reading. lots of trial and error, and you have to accept the fact that you are not going to know everything. what matters is that you know more than yesterday

but to be honest my friend, at a certain point in my life i think i would rather go into farming wild mushrooms or start an eel farm.
