I know they're just starting, but this is so vague...

> grow their lifetime earnings through education, training, access to opportunities, and systems change on a global scale

What is their actual plan? What opportunities? What systems?

I hope they make a positive impact but so far it just seems like marketing hype.

There are some concrete examples here, but it really feels like most of the opportunities are around software as that's still the lowest-barrier, training-time-efficient, highest paying job you can learn remotely. That's by far the easiest way to reach their 1:100 investment/income ratio.

Hypothetically, if every one does the same career, then all salaries will decrease in that career. Supply / demand.

We need a healthy, heterogeneous career market. Driving everyone to become programmers isn't it.
