When she was in school learning to type was routine, I wonder how she missed it.
She then attended Yale Law School and served on the editorial board of the Yale Review of Law and Social Action. In 1970, she was awarded a grant to work at the Washington Research Project (which later became the Children’s Defense Fund) and was assigned to Senator Walter Mondale’s Subcommittee on Migratory Labor
yeah, she did all her work long hand, uh huh, And who the hell says you have to know how to type to send an email or write a document? It's faster to complete a document if you know how to type but that's about it.
I don’t believe her, not one little bit! No sir I don’t. If she does not know how to type, she did not go to law school. Period!
Yeah. I’m 61 and have been in IT since 1983. I like to say that the only class I took in high school that actually mattered was typing. :-)
And don’t ask me why, but I took two semesters. Thank God.
When I went through high school in the mid-70’s...they had one single typing class for a high-school (9th through 12th) of 280 students....so on average, there were 25 kids in that class per year. Oddly, the same instructor had two accounting classes per day. I’d take a guess that yearly from the graduates of the high school...maybe twenty percent took the typing classes.
The objective, from what I can figure was that no one figured typing was a skill worth job placement except for secretaries and administrative people.
When I joined the Air Force...even though I already typed 30 words a minute...they sent me onto their typing classes and I started from step one (total waste). Today, I don’t see how you’d want to skip the class....your whole career potential is tied to typing today.
