I think this discussion boxes new students into the mediocre category right from the start.
Do we really want to tell Fabrice Bellard that he isn't productive enough?
If you want to train people to become fungible factory workers on the other hand, train them to work on the conveyor belt.
I get your point, but I'm envisioning a different endpoint.
Let's take your factory example: Factories are just a fact of life right now, almost nobody is producing bespoke cars or phones or clothing. So given that my son is basically 100% likely to be working with an automation line, how do I get him on the track to being a machine operator or a millwright rather than doing conveyor belt work?
