So Jow Forums, what job will you switch to when the kids who are in K-12 right now graduate and push you out of the tech industry?

>Muh coding
Learning a programming language is easy. The hard part is the logic behind the programme, teaching "coding" isn't going to help with that part.

I'm in cyber security with several certifications and know a few programming languages + Top Secret clearance. I'm irreplaceable.

Mathematics

the cs/ce/cwhatever job market will crash within 20-30 years because of these advertising campaigns pushing more retards into the market

lol, not for long. Pretty soon they'll be handing out security clearances to kindergarteners along with "coding" lessons

I'll be retired, spending maybe 30 minutes a year managing my investments.

yet i've never seen code physically move something or wear out. contra the herd, if u have a kid, put him in mechanics or mechatronics

>every kid takes math classes in school
>oh no there’s too many mathematicians what do
If you can program well, you’ll be fine. Most kids will end up hating programming if they’re forced to do it.

It will be how lawyers got oversaturated (((teachers))) telling their goys to go to law school and get guaranteed cases that wins you big

Only makes a difference to lower tier programmers. At the top the competition won't change much.

What is the point of teaching kids how to "code"?

>top secret clearance
sounds legit, real discrete

What do they know? They don't raise their kids anymore. They let the government do it.

I dont think it will be a job killer like some people do. I went through quite a few biology classes in school, but im not a biologist of any sort.

On top of that, I dont think programming is something that should be taught so much as scripting and automation of tasks should be. Kids should be learning python or something so that they can more effectively use the software already present on their computers. We dont need another generation of retards using excel spreadsheets for their computational needs.

Computer literacy is something that should be taught to everyone, learning some scripting and boolean logic can't hurt either.

Invest accordingly. Any degree hyped by parents and the education system eventually see way too many graduates and not enough positions.

Why is current Slashdot so trash tier?
It used to be a site where you could go on it, pick any news story with replies, and learn something from some industry veteran pushing his perspective.
Now its a terrible news aggregate site, filled with randomly and rarely meaningful comments.

Sure, the average slashian where always somewhat delussional and not really connected to the reality around them. But it was never this bad.
Somebody where always willing to write a 2000 character shitpost about why they hated some update to the DNS standard that was rolled out.

Because half of the posts aren't even tech related anymore. It's just a generic news site now.

I was thinking of going into coding since no other career has any prospects. Looks like I should plan to be a hobo now

just teach basic digital literacy like they've been doing
I guess they could improve upon it, but coding is useless for the average person

flooding the field

You have to know how to do math to program, most people graduate barely being able to pass algebra 2.

Not him but that simply means (in infosec at least) that you have admin access to all of a company's data, nothing to do with military or any of that stuff
I have top clearence too, most infosec people do, else you can't really do your job
Contracts don't allow you to disclose anything or else you're on a blacklist for life though and good luck getting any job then other than "muh 1337 h4xxing"

They have already pushed me out, and Im barely in it.

Just be a cyberhobo.

>Most Beneficial Subject
>50% Coding
>28% Foreign Language
So, that leaves 22% split amongst math, science, English, art, and history? Sounds like bullshit to me. Especially considering that 99% of people didn't learn anything in 3+ years of foreign language study in high school.

Huge job demands.
This.
Boomers are dying anyway while Gen X and women are on suicide watch. Those who have never programmed or were sheltered from tinfoil hat parents will struggle badly to find work. Especially when knowing how to code will be the new requirement, even in porn.

>5% of those kids will even attempt
>5% of those 5% will get anywhere with it
whatever retard
