I was at Sears waiting my turn at the checkout and there were 2 people ahead of me talking about their kids (they met in line). One said her 19 year old son got a job as a game programmer with a starting salary of $120,000 !
She said he came home for a visit and overheard her say to her 10 year old to stop playing video games and go outside and play. She said her 19 year looked at her and said “mom!”
Have your kids learn programming!

Problem with that is that today’s programming will be outdated and no longer in use by the time said kid graduates from high school.

The fundamentals are always good, though.
