  • Yup, it's also helps that IT is much more of a "trade" than folks realize, which is why IT cirriculums are found at Trade school. I spent 2 years studying IT in community college before spending another 2 years at a university to get my 4 year degree as an older night student.

  • True, laparoscopic and robotic surgery. BUT- they aren’t any better at medicine practice itself. Simply moving an object on screen with their fingers which is indeed something playing video games would help. ATC does none of this though.
