You can work toward both ends by trying to engage in something that cultivates marketable skills.

Khan Academy style sites are a population recommendation, but not your only option. Once upon a time, I learned quite a bit of coding working with robocode and had a blast doing it.

You could also get a VPS and see what you could get up and running on it. Maybe your own Lemmy instance! (admittedly that option is not free)

Yes, robocode is fun. I got thrown in the deepend with that and a coding assignment.

Try to figure out what you want to build. That will make a big difference towards what you learn. I'm partial to C# for gamedev, but there is so much out there. If you really have no idea, Python is a good multi-purpose language that can get you used to programming.
