And the ten minutes striking up a conversation with that strange kid in homeroom sometimes matters more than every other part of high school combined
Wow, that is pretty weird. That was true for me in college. I was at home after graduating in January 2002, at the bottom of the dot com bust. It was hard to find a job then.
I took this world music course in college, and I remember I talked to this guy who was also a computer science major, and he told me he was going to EA. Probably 6 months later, I e-mailed him out of the blue, and that got me the internship which led to my first job.
So instead of all the computer science stuff, I should have just relied on connections from the world music course and on my DOS batch file knowledge from age 13 :)
