I agree with Amber in thinking that the delineation between technical jobs and non-technical jobs is getting blurred. Much of that technical know-how that used to be a requirement of a specialized skill is becoming everyday. Go back 40 years and see who could type. It was a specialized skill those in certain professions needed. But because computer use has become such a pervasive skill doesn't mean all those who use it are in a technical profession.

The whole concept of a technical profession is changing. It is not an either/or proposition anymore. There are many degrees and I think that is what this article/post is getting at and that is where the real excitement is going to be in the future. You don't have to be a coder. Integration of content and creative use of technology is going to be HUGE and this is the area that the young people mentioned in the article are going to excel at. They don't have to necessarily be coders. Here's a hint, those integration people, they are going to be the ones that make the big money.
