Are office people really that, umm shall we say...slow?

19 Oct 2001

...
   expect a
regular office person (and in some cases, even a regular IT 
 person) to be able to do it. 
Office person, sure. But an IT person who couldn't solder a connector 
gets no respect from me at all.... 
I don't disagree, but unfortuantly, Windows Crap OS and sleep thru 
"certifications" have bread countless morons that are now employed as IT 
managers.

My company did a survey a number of years ago... college students, 
Computer majors and professors only... The LACK of knowledge, or simply 
WRONG knowledge coming out of these people was frightening, frightening 
to the core that these people were going to graduate and get jobs running 
the IT infrastructure of the US corportations.

The only good thing that came of it, it finally convinced my boss that a 
college education didn't mean jack... which got me a raise (being a 
college drop out myself)
