In our school, seniors had a mandatory half year drivers ed followed by a
mandatory half year of typing. I've been thankful for that ever since :)
That's all history now; budget cuts eliminated driver's ed a long time ago,
and typing is now back to a secretarial thing.

I was not trying to offend anyone with that remark but back in the day
typing was something that girls took and boys took shop. It was a fact
not an accusation. Although I think it would have been a great asset for
me today at the time it was hard enough trying to get through all of the
social pressures without creating an additional one of my own making.
Social norms change and today both genders do and should learn how to
type because most of the kids will go into office jobs. Back then most
men were likely to end up tightening a nut and bolt.

BTW, to the comment about straight guys not taking typing: I know
that
they
didn't usually, but when I was in high school back in the plasticine
epoch
(right after the Pleistocene epoch), a bunch of my friends and I took
typing
because we thought it would be an easy course (and there were girls in
it!)
Given my career, it was one of the most useful courses I took in High
School
- one of the few, in fact, where I can say that I still clearly reap
the
benefits of it every day!
