is it too late to pick programming as a career path?
hey, im a very young student with a couple years until college. recently, i have discovered an interest in programming and i am beginning to learn the absolute basics like html and css. all my relatives and friends are telling me it's too late to get into programming because by the time ill graduate, the job will be taken over by ai. i am extremely disappointed because this is the first time ive actually found a passion and something i enjoy. i also have other interests, such as writing and art (which ive been told i cant make a solid career out of), so i want to integrate them into a huge game project ive been thinking about for a year before i even started to look into programming.
ive thought of the danger of ai taking over my dream carreer, but i didn't take it that seriously. now it's really starting to bother me, and im debating on picking an alternative career path before it's too late. i decided to post on here in hopes that someone with experience in this field (or anyone at all) would be willing to help out.
