You’d lose that bet. This isn’t the 80s. The type of modern child who would develop an interest in programming might be the last mfer you want crawling under your house fixing broken pipes.

Put up $5k as a contest and a programmer will become a plumber a hell of a lot faster than a plumber will become a programmer.

This is largely just resource devotion in our personal lives. The difference is that there are IQ requirements for certain levels. This myth that lower-level IQ jobs are somehow too difficult for higher-IQ people is just a silly fantasy.

I'm serious guys. Unemployment and the unemployable leads to critical labor shortages and a lot of crime and misery.

A school should at least try to teach a kid how to survive.

All children should be taught basic math and civics and English. But no point in wasting their time on things they can't or won't learn.
