Just curious but does it mean that having quantitative skills in those fields implies that you probably have some job experience in those fields?

I cannot imagine high schools providing substantial education to develop skills in those fields.

There aren't too many colleges which offer courses on Rails, Django, Coffeescript, or Nodejs. Smart people manage to get by with the internet, without going hundreds of thousands of dollars into debt.
