I coded in high school as part of a class that was offered in school but didn't enjoy it then. Then our teachers said things like its like math - boys are better at it than girls. I totally stayed away from coding till a few years back when I needed to use statistics packages to analyse my data. I had to write for loops and functions to make my models work on larger datasets. I learnt to code and was driven by more than 'it's a good career choice'. I know a doctor who learnt to program in C because his programmer did not understand the model the doctor was trying to create.
