You're missing the point, we're not talking about career paths here, no one is advising anyone to become an accountant over a programmer. We're talking about an introduction to these subjects. If you had one week to sit down with every person in this world, I think that time would be better spent discussing finances, investments and retirement, instead of an introduction to variables, if/then statements, and loops. |

It doesn't matter what you think would be better what matters is whether programming contrary to accounting can be seen as a language or not and is the reason why it should be taught.
Just putting some arbitrary other field in there is what is missing the point whether that is accounting, CPR, sports, history and so on.
You can put anything in but programming is different since it potentially can contain all the other fields in it's ability to simulate them all.
