Why do you imply that a programmer is a "professional"? I suppose it confers respectability on a task-oriented job, but (speaking for myself) programming is a skill I mastered sometime in my teens, while the skills that keep me employed were hard-learned over the past 12 years.

Isn't "young white collar worker" an oxymoron? Except in the bubble days of 1999, when 24-year-old leather-pant-wearing CEOs were honored guests on CNBC's Power Lunch, executive jobs have been the province of those greybeards who paid their dues and deftly avoided self-imposed career disasters.

Have you considered that the continued transformation of the economy might be a good thing?
