@terry9 ....Agreed on the UC, and even the CSC systems; the education I received (once out of the public schools) was terrific. Although never degreed, the courses I took allowed me to Really learn to think and not just 'absorb'....and the price required to do so relative to today was a bargain.
I opted for a more 'general education', the turmoil of the CA job market in my 'era', the 'distractions' in the 'kulture', the 'Nam war (fortunately, 4F; more luck than the disability that did exist), and a counselor that opined that I was inately bright enough to do any damn thing I cared to.
Unfortunately, lugging cases of IBM punch cards which had to be hand prep'd on a keyboard was of no interest; the 'ground floor' of the 'puter revolution got bypassed...*shrug* Oh, well....I like Win10 Pro better, anyway... ;) That, and what I can make it do Now. *G*
Being a generalist has served me well, overall. Being a 'adaptable' peg that could fit many holes in different roles in a variety of places in many states.....
'Have Skills, Do Travel' *s*
The only thing I miss most of CA? The beaches, mostly...
Portably Urs, J
