What classes should my 15 year old be taking to prepare for a career in cyber security?

I homeschool my 15 year old son. He's done some basic python coding classes, and he's a fast learner with computers. He's looking at going into cyber security, so I want to get him into more classes that will help prepare him for a post-highschool cyber security program. Where can I find beginner classes that will point him in the right direction?

How can I get a job with a cyber security certification only at 17 or 18 ?

I want to know if, at the age of 17 or 18, I could get a decent job in cyber security or IT if I only have a certificate for something in cyber security. I'm asking if there's a way I can get an excellent cyber security job with only a high school diploma and certificate rather than going to college for a couple of years.

Would having a dual major degree in Computer Science and Cybersecurity & Operations have a negative impact while applying for work?

I'm wondering if hiring managers in tech might be biased against candidates with a specialized CS degree. Initially, I planned to pursue a degree in cybersecurity, but I was advised to opt for a more generalized degree. Given the course requirements, it was feasible to add a dual major, so I chose that route. Now I'm questioning whether I should reconsider my choice before it's too late. Although I'm still aiming to specialize in cybersecurity after graduation, I’m also hearing advice to remain open to unexpected opportunities in the tech field. I want to ensure I have flexibility in the future, so this decision has been weighing heavily on me.
