I was a 3C0X1 too!
Of course, I got stuck on a DECSystem10 (this was in '95), but it could have been worse. One of my classmates from techschool went on to be a switchboard operator.
I was fairly computer illiterate when I went in. I knew the basics of DOS and some UNIX, but other than that, nothing. I actually learned a lot in my four years, after the DEC10 kicked it, I was moved into an Oracle DBA position then to a UNIX admin spot. I think a lot of it has to do with where you get stationed and what you get assigned to when you get there.
