It's funny, I completed the Cisco Networking Academy, or whatever its being called this week, and a majority of the people there were high school students who thought it would be a breeze course (computer networking, this to the avarage high school student, means learn to surf the internet, heh, suckas.) who generally drop out. Those who actually stay, about 5% of the class had a talent, or atleast an INTEREST in computer networking. The rest sat there and surfed the internet the entire time. Now I find myself back there, but this time as a teachers assistant, and I almost feel jaded and angry these kids would rather surf flash game sites rather then learn to configure static routes, or how to set the clock on a router (true, a simplistic thing to do, but still, its one of those few pleasures to have) or even something as bare bones as enabling the ethernet interface to copy a config from a tftp server.
