        @WSJ @HackFwd Maybe the nerdy kids have have made their money and already retired by that stage? They'd be in their late 50s by then.

        @HackFwd Very true. The stats given have a 40 yr lag, so as you suggest, the opposite may well be true of the current workforce.

        @WSJ @AnaKasparian that's because they are still working and the nerds are retired.
