It may be a very frightening thought to you now, Mr. Chris-Harry, but the best and most qualified teacher you will ever have in your entire life will be a crazy banana named Chris-Harry. Rolling Eyes
nice way to put it j.drake... you have some very convincing points... so convincing i cant find a rebotal... yeah, there are some good things to business, yeah, maybe one day i will do something special that will need me to run a business. But, (i guess that i am afraid) that i wont run a business because, i am not the best leader out there... i have seen people who could tell the flies buzzing around then to drop dead.



my computer classes in HS were in BASIC (try doing something with that nowadays).
and i agree, stuff they teach us today will go outtadate latter on in life...

there are two main jobs where you will have to constantly learn new things everyday and if you dont. your not very good at it. Doctors and Professors/Teachers.

I'm here because I'm still learning, even as the paper on my diplomas turns as yellow as a banana.
learning is one way of keeping the mind fresh and young... that and maths... which (luckily), blends into programing... my fav. past time.

Add to that, that it you are a reasonably intelligent person, you will quickly discover that working in a tech capacity for a company can be terribly annoying, because all the important decisions about what the product will do, and act like, and the standard of quality, will be made by some clown with the all the technical acumen of my dog.... while his will be measured by the numbers on the Excel spreadsheet that he puts on the screen using a PowerPoint presentation, because the important decisionmakers in the company who are watching his presentation used to be clowns like him.
so true... its sad isnt it. why did Bill G. make all his money... because of his programing? *laughs really really hard*. If anyone remembers, when dos first came out it was a total washout. He made his trillions (or how much he really has (proberly a bigger number)), because he was a great business man. I respect him as a business man but not as a programer (even though he may be very good at it?) This is something i lack really badly... the ability to see things in a business point of view.
