I did take typing in HS. It really helped me in the Army. I became a RTT
operator and could really push those 60 CPS teletype machines.
Just like learning Morse Code, once you learn it it is hard to program
out of your brain.
Typed all my life as a software engineer.
Maybe I will be put 6' under with a keyboard.

I didn't take typing in high school because I didn't
want to be pigeonholed as a secretary. In early
years I went in to interview for a technical
position with a degree in electronics & almost
always was asked what my typing speed was. When I
mentioned about a page ever 2 hours or so, I got
interviewed for the job I was applying for. I knew a
woman with a Stanford masters in physics who in the
mid 60s worked as a tech group secretary.<br

double spaced between sentences and my reviewers
