One thing about this conversation jumps out at me: the lack of mention 
of continuing education.  Hanging on my study wall is an attractively 
framed piece of paper that says "University of Utah/Master of 
Science/Computer Science".  Underneath that it says "1985".  Oops.

In reality, most of what I've learned has come from my own initiative in 
digging facts out of books and web sites.  I did indeed learn good 
things at the UoU, but the abstract theory held the most enduring value. 
  The more important skill over the years has been self education, which 
has protected me from terminal obsolescence.
