Now that I'm old enough to have seen the career arc for quite a few people, something that really jumps out at me is how much, on average, things have not worked out for kids who learned to program young and then, in their college Intro to CS class, tried to show their prof up because they were convinced the prof was an idiot.
Also, it's funny that this happens frequently enough that this is an archetype. I should ask my CivE and ME friends if they've seen this (I don't recall this in EE).
