So, if you had your druthers. Which courses in these 2 areas were the most important to you and/or which are the most important to your business.
I have a unique opportunity to affect the curriculum of our local community college by serving on their advisory board. Care to help?

Accounting 101. - If you truley understand your first accounting courses the rest is easy.
No idea on the computer side. We pay people to deal with that nonesense.

Cumputer Education : CCNA - Cisco Certified Network "Associate".
Dunno if the "A" stands for accociate but its a damn good course.
-
Anything to do with Networks(MCSE, MCSA, CNA, CCNA etc.)
Another is the Basics of fixing a damn computer, certified A+.....
you don't have to get certified, just get the course and learn WHAT IS!!!!
just like most people driving a car couldn't fix a damn flat tire, just the Basics

The basic intro to computers, teaches the basic elements of the modern day computer and also gives some history.
Microsoft Office class (XP/2002 or 2000) - teaches how to use Excel, Word, Powerpoint, and Access.
Microsoft Windows 2000 professional class (if you can use 2000, you can use XP) that uses the Windows 2000 MCSE book.
I took some classes that I will never use or need to remember anything from. Introduction to Operating Systems (knew everything already), Data Communications I and II (mostly worthless, good for teaching the different forms of internet connections, intranet vs internet, protocols and the classification of networks, OSI model - uhm, won't be using that... evar). Intro to Unix - OKAY to know if you use Unix at the school. Don't need unless you are doing a Networking track. Programming, eh... haven't used any of that and more than likely won't be. I did C though, pretty good language to take if you are interested in computers.
Windows 2000 Professional is typically a 300 level course tho. Everything else I listed is 100 to 200.
