If you've got any sort of computing background, might be worth looking into learning to hack and getting into bug bounty programs. Programming is a useful skill, but hacking is way more useful where we're heading.

Nahamsec is a pretty decent youtuber on the topic. He just did a beginner video covering how to get into it.

The Bug Hunter's Methodology by jhaddix is kind of the gold standard checklist for bug hunters.

I don't do it myself but I had a compsec background back in the day and was thinking of getting back into it when I have some time.
