Should, shmould.
I ain't real good at following orders, unless there's a reason.

Here in Dallas, the Hospitals are SCREAMING for programmers and are more
than willing to send folks to classes.

There's this one fellow who's been a Respiratory Therapist for like 20
years and has absolutely NO computer skills. (He asked me to "install
Microsoft on his mouse!") They just pulled him off the floors, gave him
a raise, and sent him to school to do this - and he was a damn fine RT.

I don't know how he passed the course, but that's what he appears to
have done.
