Forget teaching your kid to code. Teach your kid how to fix a damn leak, wiring issue, or how to diagnose a furnace. You think the IT world isn't flooded with folks? Ask Mitch.
When I graduated (2001) we'd all been told that coding/IT/whatever was what was going to be in demand. We were ushered/herded to learn all we could about computers. We all did. What happened? Shit ton of IT folks. VERY few in the trades. I saw it early enough to leave college and learn skills. I learned code, design, etc. Hard pass. Too many out there.
I've seen a HS grad with NO skills land a job as an HVAC apprentice making $22/hour at 18 years old. I've seen the same in plumbing, electrical, etc. The trades are EMPTY. The IT world is flooded. We were all told it was big money, a comfy job, and easy.
Folks need technology, no doubt. I think the biggest issue is you can work inside in a warm office (hopefully with windows and no asbestos) and make a decent living. Everyone has and will always need electricians, plumbers, carpenters, etc. I work as a Maint Supervisor over two buildings and it's hard for me to get our contractors out in a reasonable time frame because they're so busy.
Coding? Meh. Best of luck to her. Can she turn a wrench and is willing to show up on time and work hard? Here's more than some coders with a decades experience make.
