A sure way to economic success of future generations is to teach as many people as possible how to code and understand computers. By 2018, current government projections show that more than 800,000 high-end computing jobs will be created in the economy, making it one of the fastest growing occupational fields. However The majority of states have no certification for computer science teachers; in states where certification or endorsement exists, the requirements may have little, if any, computer science content. This kind of investment is a job creator of the highest magnitude. Instead of outsourcing our computer oriented jobs as the US is now, we need to invest in the technological education of future as well as current generations and the teachers necessary to bring about such a change.
