The two most useful courses were in 1969 when I took typing for six weeks, and 1987 when I learned my first computer programs, ProWrite and Grade Assist. Other courses were far more informative, but I typed my way through to the doctorate, and computered my way through my college career. That seems to be a common thread here.

Same here. Even though in Advanced Placement in the NY Regents program, I took Personal Typing because I needed an elective. Manual typewriters with manual carriage return. Ugh!

That’s what got me in the doors of corporations, where I advanced within the systems. Tyoing and Latin were my most useful courses.
