Well it depends what age group you're talking about. He says the gender imbalance in 20 somethings is due to a gender imbalance in teens (which just assumes that time spent in your teens is predictive of career choice and skill level), and he doesn't know why the teen imbalance exists, but it needs to be fixed.
I don't see how that's over explaining. If you didn't study math or science in highschool, you probably won't be a physicist either.
- tptacek 13y agoIt is simply not true that you need to study computer programming in high school in order to be an effective professional programmer.
- klipt 13y agoDidn't say it was strictly necessary. But you're less likely to even choose CS as a career path if you had no interest in it earlier. You can also become a physicist later in life, but it's rare.
