So I wanna become an Ethical Hacker, any tips?

Hi, so I'm only 14 but I want to become an Ethical Hacker, or work for the CIA in Intelligence. I know just a little bit about coding, but I was wondering if any of the people here who are older than me, and have more experience in this field than me, have any tips. Thanks.

Some places have bounty programs where they ask ethical hackers to see if there are any flaws in their system. Can register for those. For more info look up white hat.

Already searched that stuff up. They require you to either have the Ethical Hacking exams passed, Military Intelligence Clearance(Which I plan to get from Airforce/Navy Cybersecurity), or experience from crime. As I'm 14, and dont have any of those, I just wanted to know what the options to go into that field are.

I’d guess take an online course about cyber security? Maybe try yt for videos from actual ethical hackers?
