When I entered college in the mid 1970’s, my father mapped out a 4 year program for me that would have resulted in my becoming a computer programmer. I ripped up his proposed scheduled, majored in poli sci and English and became a lawyer instead. Since I paid my way through college, I had the right to disregard my parents’ suggestions.
My H took a couple of computer classes in college and learned enough to be able to set up his own website but chose to become a lawyer instead.
My kids tend to be more social science, history and less mathy types. My middle son is my best at math. He made it though AP Calc BC in HS. In college, he decided to change his major from poli sci to CS. After one class, he called and asked if he could change his major back. CS was BORING! in his words. He was my best hope for having a kid in the computer field. None of the others have the remotest interest, although my oldest is quite good at building computer systems. People actually pay him to set up their computers and systems for them, but I think that programming is something different and I don’t think he does that. He does the hardware.
