Ability to learn = success in the IT field
Why? Because it changes so fast. Do IT professionals use stuff learned
from a formal education? Maybe. Not much. Do IT pros need the
*methods* of learning acquired in a formal education? Yes. Those
methods may be acquired from the School of Hard Knocks as well. The
formal education most definitely is a catalyst.
OT: Latin was hands down the most difficult course I ever ran into in
Jr HS. All those declensions and conjugations. Geez. Hannibal may
have crossed the Palatine Mountain; not in my back yard, though.

Congrats, daddy-o! Let's get the children together chasing lightning
bugs in the back yard one day while the adults fire up the grill...
