> Why does teaching programming have to result in a programming-only job?
At the last local Python meet up I went to I sat next to a sociologist who writes code for data analysis and visualization and a 3D artist who wanted to script up Blender. If social scientists and artists are programming, I'd say it is a useful skill across a broad range of disciplines.
