Heh!I took drafting my freshman year in high school. I liked it and was good at it, so I signed up for the advanced drafting class for my second year. Turns out it was just myself and one other student so they canceled the class. Now I had to scramble to figure out something to fill the gap.
Not much that excited me, so I decided to take a worthless typing class. Little did I know that it would probably be the most usefull class in my sophmore year.
And for the record, while I did learn to type fairly well, but I actually passed the coarse by fixing the broken mechanical typewriters.
My mom talked me into taking typing in HS. Can't thank her enough. Class was about 90% girls, and it came in handy for computing. I got some time on the single Selectric in the class. Nice machine!
