But anybody can program
Basically we are just glorified clerks. Grab an icon off a tool bar, drag it on to the WYSIWYG editor, set it's caption, job done.
My take would be that you don't have to recommend a career in programming. Those who want to do it will fall into it naturally, those who don't want will only fall into it unnaturally, like if some clueless HR wannabe told them it was a good career.
Is the money good? Compared to what?
Recommending a career, is basically an economic assessment, in fact it's a prediction, no lets be honest it's an unsubstantiated guess.
Don't be guided by someone else's interest or by incompetents, have a go at it. If you like it, it's an option, if you don't it's a poor option.
