When I was a sysadmin at the Computer Science Institute at Hebrew U, we
had 3 high school students who were working there part time. They
started as volunteers. One had been taking courses there while working
and finished his bachelor's degree a few months later. He got a very
good job for the Israeli government.
Two of the other students finished high school and went to sysadmin jobs in
the army.
Students from the ORT school across the street who had taken the computer
hardware or software curriculum also got jobs in the army in their field.
So yes, you can have education, and yes it matters.
Geoff.
