Mr. Andreeson sees technology and programming skills as a great divider in the the future work force. ?"There's no such thing as median income; there's a curve, and it really matters what side of the curve you're on," he says. ?His thoughts on a vanishing middle-class are rather disturbing and we frankly hope this doesn't come to be, but he says one thing is essential for today's students - "study STEM".
