The hammer is really just a weight on a lever. The lever includes as much of your arm as you like to.

What? No music to go with the dancing hamsters?

I think you misunderstand... Your degree only demonstrates to an employer:

• You can complete a long-term simple project with clearly defined requirements.
• You have the most basic competencies required by your degree program
• You should have some basic knowledge about the field

What it does not demonstrate to an employer:

• You can complete a complex short or long-term project with fuzzy requirements (as in: the real world)
• You can work on a small part of a complex project, without necessarily knowing "where it fits"
• You work well in a team and actually contribute usefully
• You can lead or follow
• You have the ability to teach yourself any required new skill
• You are flexible enough to use the appropriate technology for a project - and become an expert as needed
• You can admit when you screwed up, and happily fix it

I'm sure I missed loads, but those are just the things off the top of my head. Basically, your education is primarily there to teach you how to teach yourself in an area of expertise.

I for one welcome our new offshore overlords.

School finished long ago for us. Just doing the Birth, School, Work, Death thing. Fort Fun is a nice boring place to live as a grownup. Or, as one of my friends says: The Fun Never Starts! lol

Huzzah from Fort Fun.

Teaching my 4 year old basic decimal math *is* fairly simple with 10 fingers (and toes), but M&Ms make learning to count alot more fun.

On a side note: I do feel for those of you who count in sheep... Personally *I* usually fall asleep readily and sleep soundly at night.

Pinko Commie ... couldn't resist.

What is this "desktop or server" you speak of? Wifi to modem to satelite. On the other end? Ask work. I throw my bits out there (even my "landline") over The Ether :-) That teeny bit of wire from the WAP to modem isn't the biggest bit of travel.
