I actually took Latin in high school, over the more conventional choices.

Subject: RE: Looking for opinions on education
In the past couple of days, there was an article (CodeProject?) on "Why should I learn C?". Basically saying you're probably not going to use it nowadays to develop apps but it does give you a good basis for other languages. They equated it to learning Latin as the root of other languages.
I developed many a user facing app in C over the years - some doing a several million real time transactions per year - but I do agree that I wouldn't go that route currently. And, I agree with the premise that it has made me a better developer and made moving to modern RPG functionality a piece of cake. Procedures, service programs (libraries in C), etc.
