Nothing the majority of people learn in High School is well paid. If these programs are effective, entry-level programming jobs will drop to minimum wage from the increased supply. "Coding literacy" may or may not be a worthwhile goal with a net positive impact, but it is certainly not going to let everyone get in on the current tech salaries. |

This dicussion reminds my the personnal experience of "prog21" at school on a Apple ][:
> One guy presented this amazing demo full of animation and shaded images. I'm talking crazy stuff, like a skull that dripped blood from its eye into a rising pool at the bottom of the screen. And that was just one segment of his project. I was stunned. Clearly I wasn't the hotshot programmer I thought was.
