I see it more as computer programming being a trade just like anything else http://online.wsj.com/articles/computer-programming-is-a-tra...
I agree with you but at the same time I think that at the end of the day a lot of these will end up being a market-driven rather than a creator-driven decision. Some kids will take up coding because of the pay, others because of the passion. Some will be passionate about coding but will end up doing other things for pay, such as nursing.
Personally when I have children of my own I would teach them coding but I am not going to continuously barrage them into being software programmers because I'm not in charge of their lives.
