One thing to note here is that the pay scales in IT are at least
somewhat merit based. If you do very well, you will climb the pay
scales. In teaching, they are largely seniority based. You get put on
a certain initial starting point based on how much schooling you have,
and then your pay rises

Yes, I really wish I had this kind of high school when I was a kid.

took the Fortran version. I then ended up in Physics rather than

The only heritage that the XT3 shares with IB is that IB was a strong
