    Right.

    I'm 71 and I remember back in the late 50s and early 60s, every high school graduate who went on to college went to engineering.

    Only those few predisposed graduated.

    The others wasted time and money.

    The few who did graduate mostly sucked and got jobs looking at instruments on the units here at one of the local refineries.

    Fads come and go.

    Talent is forever, and very picky.

    This.

    I've been fielding questions about, "Should my kids learn to code?"

    I counter with, "Should your kid learn to play the piano?"

    I point out that for any track, only a few kids will excel, a few more will be mediocre, and most will come to hate the goddam piano or coding and the asshats who tortured them.

    Kids should be to coding to see if they have the aptitude and hunger for it.

    If not, hand them a guitar.

    If that's not their thing, try dancing, then the sciences, woodworking, metalworking, canoeing, track, other sports ...

    Find out what they are good at and encourage them.

    As for code, it's not suitable for any except the exceptional.
