Re: Advice for a career change...

You are right Jack and this is creating serious competition amongst those pursuing this path.
I would advise any of them looking to break into software development to give the ibmi consideration.
There are many ibmi shops still looking for good developers and a lot of these shops are deciding to modernize instead of migrate these days. Rpg these days is a pleasure to work with, especially alongside db2 sql.

I know of several young people in different industries who want to get
into software development.

Fashionable with the young folks these days are Boot Camps where they get
3-8 month intros to full stack web development.
There are hundreds of folks who have taken this path comparing notes,
helping each other on tech, and familiarizing the newbies with the milieu
chatting every day on Denver Devs Slack <http://denver-devs.slack.com>.
