Is programming a purely vocational skill to you? Do you not find it fun? Exciting? Interesting?

  In a way aren't all vocational skills possibly fun, exciting and interesting? I don't really like the idea that there are "bad things" to teach. I can have fun cooking, woodworking, plumbing and even filling my taxes.

    That's an excellent point. Maybe the point where it stops being "a fun thing to teach to kids" and becomes "teaching them a job" is when you force them to learn it even when they aren't having fun and don't want to because you think it will help them with a career.
