Re:And to think. . . (Score 2, Insightful)

I majored in English and minored in Fine Art at a state University.

My current business card reads "Lead Systems Engineer" -- and yes, it's a real business card from a real company that has very large very real clients. I have a lovely office, with a door and windows and everything.

Every interview I've ever had (3 in the 8 years since I graduated), I've mentioned that I went to a university to learn things I couldn't learn anywhere else. It probably helps that I've been a technology junkie since I was a kid, worked part-time in tech the entire time I was in college, and that I took a few CS classes on the side.

I realize I'm a statistical anomoly. Doesn't mean I don't enjoy saying "If I wanted career training, I would have gone to DeVry."
