I am in college and taking a Pre-Tech course. Under this course the classes are, English, Excel, Operating systems, and Math. It amazes me how many people take this course to go to the computer industry but have no bloody clue as to how to do things. We can can take my Excel courses final exam off the bat if we get 80% or higher we don't have to do the course, I did take it and got 75%, witch is fine for me. But came on why are there people there who do not even know what Excel is, they should't be in this course.

I'm currently taking a programming course which involves a brief introduction to Visual Basic, and its mainly taught towards Flash MX. My teacher is actually completely new to the whole thing to, so he knows about as much as I do. And last years programming course taught Turing. lol.....I won't even bother touching anyother kind of computer course, I know pretty well everything that they teach. I'm also co-oping for the computer technician at my school, its actually pretty good, cleaning computers, installing new partitions, fixing broken mice, keyboards, CD-Roms, 3.5" floppys. And oddly enough, I've actually been able to bring in an Xbox and hook in up to the digital projector and play Halo 2 at school with some friends.
