"it would would appear to colleges that I wanted to take an easy
class"
Doesn't everyone take one or two "easy" classes?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Ha... Typing wasn't an easy class to me. But it was the most useful class I've
taken. The fact that the number row wasn't taught til the second semester
(which I didn't take because it was mostly how to write letters) has been a
constant issue since.

I was a few years in front of you, and it was not possible for boys to take
typing (or for girls to do woodwork/metalwork). I tried learning a few years
later, but I was so fast by then that I found it impossible to stick at it.
It's something I've regretted ever since. It would have been very useful.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I never took a typing class. What little skill I have was
obtained by two avenues: (1) having to type my lab reports in
technical school, and (more lasting and a *lot* more fun) (2)
playing "Zork".

At uni I discovered that I needed to type up reports. Mind you, that had some
advantages over my writing. I began to wish that I had learned typing and it
would have been far more useful than having that Latin stuffed into me. Never
really learned proper touch typing despite trying a few times but can still hack
something out reasonably quickly, thanks to the aid of the witch.

In 1972 males were flat out banned from taking typing, home economics, and
sewing in my high school.
Of the twenty five guys in my class, half ended up in IT. The typing mistress
taught five or six of those guys to type. I'm not sure if they individually, or
collectively figured out how to bypass the ban on males being taught typing.
They didn't a grade for it, but that wasn't why they took the class.
The only guy in the class to end up in Paris putting on a Spring Fashion Show,
was making clothes for the Home Economics teacher and sewing teacher, before he
entered high school.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
