John,
Things were different then.
Years ago we had a program where new hires, programmers, sysprogs, etc spent
a week in ops and a week in production control. It lasted about a half dozen
hires then was tabled.

Hum, I would have failed to get my first job. I came out of college
directly into systems. I as applying for a programming job. I had
apparently talked myself out of a number of them. At the place that hired
me, I could see the programming managers eyes glazing over, again. He told
me to wait a bit. The system programming manager then came in to talk to
me. I got the job because I knew s/370 assembler and OS JCL ( this was back
in the OS/VS1 days). Turns out the programming manager went to the systems
manager and said (paraphrasing) "You might want to talk to my applicant. I
don't understand a damn word he's saying!"
Of course, my first two weeks at that job was in the computer room,
mounting tapes on 3420 drives and tearing paper off of the 1403N1 printer.
Just so I'd know what problems I could cause if I messed up my JCL and
didn't retain tape volumes or produced too many different reports that had
to be separated.

Wasn't there something about a PASCAL programmer knowing the value of
everything and the Wirth of nothing?
