once I rented a UHaul and it took the young kid like 5 minutes to type my name. He was hunting and pecking. I don't consider programming completely dependent on how fast people can type, but less than 10 words a minute is not employable. For professions that are completely removed from desks I think learning these skills at an adult age would be very challenging...

Anything to backup your thinking? I've seen adult hunt and peckers go to 20-30 wpm in a week or two of using no letter keyboards. That's plenty fast for coding.
