I was recently hired in a campus recruiting campaign by an outsourcing company called Syntel for boot camp training in COBOL and z/OS. I had just completed a community college certificate in programming. I added up the number of IT related semester hours I have taken, and it comes out to 99 semester hours. Almost all of it is either lower level, taken as a hobby, or the 30 hours of relatively soft courses I took for my MS in Information Management. I also have a BA with dual majors in History and Mathematics, and an MA in Anthropology.
My only real IT experience prior to the new job was from 2000 to 2002 working with a telephony company. I taught myself the Oracle database, and PERL. (I used PERL to hunt and log exception records.)
