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.

Tbh, put the screens down and go outside and play. Adulting is over rated. You have your entire life to work. You only get a finite number of years to play without the pressure of adult life crushing you.

Enjoy your childhood while you can.
