He managed to dodge the draft and he thinks anyone who served is a fool What the **** did he care? He is a borderline communist and he already speaks russian.. Hey, it's not my fault you were too lazy to find a way to pay for college back then, when it was relatively inexpensive. And, as I have told you any number of times, I went to college to further my formal education. "Dodging" the draft never crossed my mind. Oh, and I speak and read Russian because I studied it. I like the language and there is a lot of great literature written in it. I had a way to pay for college, the GI bill, I just saw it as a 4 year impediment to my career. Once I was working, IBM offered 100% tuition reimbursement but again, there was no advantage in going. I already had the job I wanted and education was included in that job package. I was learning state of the art computer systems and software at a very rapid pace, not sitting in a boring class listening to some out of touch guy who was never actually in the field telling me how important Boolean Algebra was. I also had no interest in hearing about the archaic system he worked on in college. Students at Montgomery College were coming to me because their instructors had no clue about how the operating system on the 360 in their lab worked in spite of teaching it. I said this before and the bet still stands, I bet I have far more hours of classroom instruction than you do and the amount of "distance learning" (computer aided classes) and self taught courses will triple that. In the 60s and early 70s I was averaging 700-800 hours of actual class time a year, not hanging around the student union or working at some bull**** part time job. When my daughter was in college, her BA worked out to about 800 hours of actual class over the whole 4 years. I started doing as much as I could remotely but I was still 300 to 500 a year in class after that (over 30 years) I was also an instructor for a while. |
