MSIL update
This updates the article at:
MSIL :: Microsoft Intermediate Language for Not Yet Techies

At that stage their class room education is most important, but it probably doesn't go as far as possible. And real life experience is also very important for them kids to learn that these are real, serious skills that can bring them money and employment. Plus, if they're smart enough to put some of that money away in an IRA, it can grow into a lot of money by the time they retire.
