If they’re having a hard time making money I would think lesser of their parents who should have known better.

Abdicating responsibility for your child’s education is not noble.

First, there's more to life than making money. I want my kids to have a good life, but I define that as more than just making lots of money. Good money at a job they hate isn't what I want for them.

Second, software is not the one true path to making money.

Fortunately, I suspect that few parents will abdicate their responsibility by listening to your advice.
