Yeah, tech companies still need product managers, project managers, designers, marketeers, sales people, recruiters, accountants, people ops, lawyers, and a bunch of other non-technical people. Of course, then there's a lot of non-tech companies that also need workers.
I didn't start learning how to code until I was 27. Ideally, our education system would prepare children to have multiple careers as adults. Focusing on specific skills early on may make it hard for them to transition to something later on in life when those skills become obsolete. That's the idea behind a liberal arts education--focus on critical thinking, communication, and learning a broad set of topics and they will be prepared for anything.
People get upset when they look at someone two years out of a liberal arts school who hasn't found a career due to lack of hard skills and has $30K in student loans. That college grad is going to be in the workforce for 45 years though...
