My university computer science courses left me quite disillusioned.
Between my second and third years I managed to land a summer job
programming in a small shop in the real world.  For my third year I
arranged my schedule so that I had Thursdays off, and continued to work
at my part-time programming job.  There was no fourth year -
I dropped out and went full-time, and have been programming ever since.

 My 'formal' computer education consisted of a FORTRAN IV course in '65. I
wasn't impressed. It took about ten years and an industry shift from
hardware controls to software to pique my interest.
 A shot at graduate school was similar. It didn't take long to realize the
curricula had no bearing on what I was doing or ever wanted to do.
 

Yeah. They wanted me to do a PhD. But I was no fan of the academic life.
