RE: Value of certification

[Joel Fritz <JFritz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My first year in college I read an abstract of a study the school did on
flunking out.  Something like 1% of freshmen with my SAT scores flunked out
and about 1/2 of freshmen with my high school grade average flunked out.  

The grade average was the better predictor. <g>

I eventually graduated from a different college 29 years later with a
history degree and almost immediately became an RPG programmer.  There's a
moral there somewhere.

A mind is a terrible thing to use.
