I think you address two different points here, so let me respond to them separately.
1) Job training vs. education--This is a fundamental difference between Bulgaria and the US. I imagine it has to do with economic circumstances. In the US, large numbers of families can afford for children not to work (or to work only a few hours a week or only during school vacations) until they're out of school entirely. We have strict laws limiting how much high school students can work.
It's my sense that as a society grows economically, it becomes more feasible for students to focus on a broad education rather than job training.
2) Age of learning to program--I see nothing wrong with teaching children something about programming. There are valuable skills for all in learning the kind of methodical thinking needed to get a program working. That said, most of the software developers I know learned programming as adults or as college students and seem to do well with it.
