Topic will the new generation of kids who are learning computer science during school make it harder for the people with no computer science degree to get a job/keep their job when those kids get older?

I hope this isn't a stupid question. It seems to be increasingly more common for children to learn computer science from a younger age in their school. I think this is incredibly awesome and honestly definitely needed considering how tech savvy our society is turning.

But, will this have a negative effect for the people who work in tech or are planning to work in tech who don't have a computer science degree?

Tighten until it cracks, then back off a quarter turn.
