2 things.
1: I was the only boy in my Typing class in H.S. But my ability to touch type (fast) has made possibly the single greatest positive affect on my career.
2: 3 of my uncles were in WWII. The youngest of them was very worried he'd become cannon fodder. But they found he could type. He spent the war as a clerk in Eisenhower's office. Ergo, same result for him as for me.
