My son would agree with the bolded statement. I think he thinks he was born to the wrong family.
Because of the special education system that didn't address his intellectual level, he managed to kick the system to the curb at 18 and passed his high school equivalency in the 97th percentile in the whole state. ( self taught) He could have gone to a state school, expenses paid, but was not ready at the time. Now he is getting his transfer degree but is wonder-struk at how many people my age are at a community college.
For myself, I had one term of Access and Excel which are valuable. I want more of the valuable and not pre-( this or that class) or basic internet explorer. I already know how to surf the web and it was a waste of money.
As far as OJT goes, these days, you need a piece of paper that says you have the right/skills to sit at a computer terminal, and that is worth more than it's weight in gold
