I'd be curious about your grandparents' socio-economic statuses throughout their life and their ages (particularly whether their socio matched their economic).

I'd be curious about your grandparents' socio-economic statuses throughout their life and their ages (particularly whether their socio matched their economic). Also which part of your childhood was rural, because lacking resources at 6-7 is going to have very different results than lacking them in high school. My point is that whether or not something is 'simple' depends very much on what resources you (and your group/family) have at hand. For example, I was coding in elementary school, so from my experience the idea that coding could be difficult to learn doesn't make sense. But it obviously is/can be difficult depending on background. And never mind if somebody is from an abusive home (like I also was): If mom's passed out drunk and depressed on the couch and middle school you is running after your younger sibling (me again), mom and dad aren't giving you college or earnings talks. It's not a kid's fault for not knowing these things, although at least now bright kids with no adults can use the Web to help and look up this information.
