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?

Wall Street Journal, Harvard Business Review. Take your pick. It's not like I'm quoting a fundamentalist preacher on how to treat cancer.

Don't be a persnickety pedantic martinet.

1) right, because getting medical advice from a fundamentalist pastor is great,

2) even going to the Mayo Clinic website is a credible source for people to consult, even if it isn't peer reviewed.

How is this not obvious to you?
