My first college cs class in 83 had 1058 students. Strange how after four
years only 62 folks graduated with me.

My almamater, The University of Texas, seems to take care of weeding out
most/all of the "30k a year will buy alot of beer" less than serious folks.

I started learning about computers/languages with a boring basic class in 
high school but it did get me interested enough to make computers a 
large part of my life.

set soapbox = on

So I, feel education is for the most part what you make of it.
Education is for discovering that which you find enjoying and challenging.

unset soapbox :-)
