I’ve been a software engineer for many years, I stick at it because I enjoy it. Paying well is secondary. It requires a lot of focus, but the enjoyment of solving problems and being creative, is what drives me, not financial. That’s why I still do it. If you can find that enjoyment, don’t worry about not catching up, it will come. I read the number of developer jobs doubles every 5 years. So with 5 years experience you’d be in the top 50%

>I read the number of developer jobs doubles every 5 years Is there any indication this will go on forever? Moore's law is also dead. At one point "software is eating the world" will also come to an end. In my city it's already more difficult to find a plumber than to find an app/web developer.

  well, nothing is certain. My point was, starting is better than not starting and regretting that you are too late to start. Deciding what to start is the question.
