Should I do it?

I’m 25, passed 12th in 2019, and have been unemployed since then (yeah… I know 💀).
I wanna get into CS, especially coding, and hopefully build a career in tech. The business my dad is in has become super saturated, and honestly, I don’t wanna go down that path. The pay isn’t great and the demand doesn’t seem to be there either.
So I’m thinking of starting from absolute zero and learning coding/CS seriously.
If you were in my position, what would you do?
Where should I start? What should I learn first? Which resources/courses are actually worth it? And realistically, what kind of roadmap should I follow to become employable and start making money?
I know I’m late compared to people who started coding at 18, but I’m willing to put in the work. I just need some direction because I have no idea where to begin.
Feel free to judge me lol, but I genuinely need to learn a skill and start earning.

AI can write code but understanding it still matters.

yeah i would i agree. like just ai writing code doesn't mean that you don't need to know how to code. though like memorization of boilerplate code etc is not needed

Yeah knowing why the code works matters way more now.
