The pay isn't as much compared to a hyperfocused CS to FAANG/startup track. It's not bad though.

But if the child isn’t passionate about comp sci/programming/etc their life is gonna be hell. Better to let them be happy than be miserable.

Only with work. If they are destitute but don't have to program, it's also quite possible they'll be hungry and cold and thus still also miserable.

The fuck? There are other well paying jobs. Shit electricians and plumbers and other blue collar work can pay 100k plus or more. Skilled labor in the trades is in desperate need at least here in the US.
