When I was in school I grumbled how much I hated in math courses, but now that I am out (and have been out for some time) I realise that it was the fundamentals that were important, not the language.  The conepts should be taught in the abstract so they can be applied appropriately in the future no matter what the flavour of the day is.

In school you should be exposed to as many languages as possible.  As a matter of fact, I remember many of my most important CS courses, the language you chose to implement the algorithms was completely up to the student.  To me this makes sense. 

Langugages come and go, but the fundamentals stay the same.

My name is Jason Judge from Toronto, Canada.  When I was a student at the University of Waterloo, I interned at Microsoft as a developer on the VB for CE team.

When I graduated in 1999, rather than returning to MS I went on to work at a new start-up company. (It was 1999 after all).  I am still working at that company -- we have developed a new ERP product that runs on Windows.  We started using COM (ATL on the server, VB6 for the client) however during the beta days we switched to fully .Net and have never looked back.

I am married and have a 8 month old Australian Shepherd named Lotus.  She keeps my busy when I am not at work!

Thanks,
Jason
