This is a disaster in the making.
In first year economics you learn about opportunity cost. The classic example is a student straight out of HS taking a job at McDonalds because it pays now, vs going
to university and delaying earning money for a better future potential.
But most of all, these are vocational training which won't be of value 15 years through your career. A CS degree will teach you how to think and fundamental skills that will still be of value 30 years from now.
