    Computer (& related) Work Experience
"It's well and good to have the theoretical aspects of computer software and hardware down; but, to be able really to do a good job in training others, you should also have on-the-job experience as a computer operator, a computer user -- that way, you know what it's like to be on the other end, to actually have to do the work on a daily basis, to know what it feels like, to know what is actually required on the job!"
