For the most part, these guys are born that way. They're very analytical thinkers and very math oriented. If that plays in to your kid's strengths, I'd say definitely. But if they're not really wired that way, it may not be the best fit.

I'm just going to tell my kids to do whatever they're passionate about, whatever that may be, and if they love what they do they'll never work a day in their life.

And then I'll tell them that that's 100% BS and they need to choose a marketable path in life or they'll be "loving what they do" on food stamps.

Being able to identify any possible scenario the consumer could possibly do to blow up your code is much more useful. I.E. What to do with unintended values like letters in a number field and such.
