As a reminder, tech is *not* a "flourishing industry" nor is it "in demand"
I've submitted over 3,000 resumes since 2018. In that time I've gotten zero callbacks. This is with years of experience being a top performer. That's roughly how "in demand" tech is.
Coercing your children to play with STEM toys won't guarantee them a place in this saturated field. Skills certainly didn't guarantee me one.
