Exactly right!
Also, it's not just raw coding ability that makes you a good programmer in the workplace (although you could be great!). Good communication and team skills (something most people don't REALLY have at 15) are ESSENTIAL. Also, something that really only comes with experience is good engineering practices. You don't really write highly reusable code until you're REALLY under the gun to do so... Plus, I don't know what kind of programming you want to do, but a few years more math would help you a LOT in the long run.
