As someone who has done the informatics apprenticeship when I was 16, I don't think it is too early. I don't know many people that significantly changed their minds on what they want to do between 16-20. Only after several years of actual work experience in the field in their mid 20s or later. I think the benifits of earning some money starting at 16 and losing most of the anxiety of getting your first real job (almost everyone I know got job offers at the company they did the apprenticeship at) outweighs the risk of making a "wrong" career choice early on. Also there are several common ways people adjusts their career over the time. E.g. studying at technical universities and doing second, shortened apprenticeships in related careers.
