My parents had no programming jobs. My father must have learned a bit of programming along the way, in support of his work, but I never saw evidence of that. My mother did not program, and I don't believe that my stepmother ever learned. When I think about friends who program or have programmed for a living, I come up with (fathers' work here): coal miner; taxi dispatcher; engineer; technician; construction estimator.
I should say that I and most of my friends were born at a time when there were mighty few programming jobs.
