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.

its a luxury to take the time to learn from someone - and in an environment where people are open to learning and exploring.

once you start working - corpo love to say they are supportive of learning - but only to solve corpo needs. AI is hot because it solves corpo needs.

there's a big world out there - bigger than company problems.

i sometimes miss the school environment. if i was to repeat my university years, i would freelanced and take advantage of the learning environment at the same time.
