Would an 18 y.o. be limited in job choices with an ASVAB score of 70?

My son will be turning 18 in October but took the ASVAB last year in high school. He scored a 70 but I believe he could do much better if a higher score would matter. He is interested in doing coding(?) work.

A 70 is already a great ASVAB score, but improving it could open even more opportunities, especially for competitive coding or technical jobs. If he’s confident he can score higher, retaking the ASVAB could be worth it to boost his line scores:

ASVAB score isn't relevant as long as they score above a certain minimum. What matters are the line scores that come out of it.
ASVAB score isn't a score, it's a percentile rank. It reams he scored better than 70% of others, but it doesn't say what he actually scored.
As for coding, that's not a job we have, but we do have some entry level cyber jobs he may be qualified for

If he has a 70 QT SASVAB, he's an Alpha and I'm surprised he hasn't been contacted yet. As others have said, the line scores will determine what jobs he qualifies for. The army has plenty of entry-level IT and cyber jobs that might interest him with a ton of opportunity for advancement. I'd have him make an appt with a local recruiter- if they can't help let me know.
