I think you are missing the point.  In your zeal to argue about median salaries and accuse everyone of being a liar you have derailed the conversation.  I am not suggesting that a HS kid is going to make $75K fresh out of high school.  I am suggesting that there is a very clear and direct path from starting in tech to a generally high paying family wage job that is well about the local median wage.    

These skills, if learned, are highly transferrable and can set our children on a path that opens up opportunities for them.  As for giving you a break, I, for one, am not going to give it.  Exposing children to code at a young age and demystifying the 'black magic' that happens behind the scenes is key.  Getting children to begin to think logically at a younger age is, in my opinion, a good thing.  Giving them a foundation to build on is the key.
