It's important to realize that there's no secret career that's going to automatically set you for life. I see CS being peddled online getting to the point of le $150k starting nuclear/petroleum engineering meme used to be.
If you're lucky or a 0.01% genius then you'll excel in CS, get paid good money and probably work on some interesting projects. The vast majority of people in CS are middlemen code monkeys competing against 100000 Indians to put together JS or create database, and if you're just doing it for the money then you will hate it 10x more.
Look at every aspect of a career in the field that interests you. Are you making value back vs cost of living such that you can invest? Do you have time to build a family? Is the work rewarding and creative? what are the long term health effects? This anon is obviously hard working and lucky, but don't chase someone else's dream for cash.
