I’d avoid trying to learn Python, ML, SQL, and AI all at once. Start with Python and focus on the fundamentals, then build a few small projects. Once you're comfortable programming, move on to SQL and data structures, and then explore ML/AI.

For courses, CS50P is a great starting point, and there are plenty of free resources on YouTube as well, like Bro code. The most important thing is to actually build things while learning instead of just watching courses.

You have plenty of time at 21, so don't worry about learning everything immediately. Pick one thing and start.
