I went to the University of Montreal 10 years ago. Do you know wich langage I learned there? Ada, Pascal, C, Assembler, COBOL and FORTRAN. I liked the first one, but nobody use this. The next two may be usefull, but outdated (now Delphi and C++). I wouldn't work on the last three even if they doubled my salary!

>I like this comparison! And I think you're right. Only that universities "live" in the same real&unperfect world. So, they have to adapt to the market. Three years ago, when I came to Canada, I was curious and looked into the computer science programs available at McGill University (Montreal). Some of them were interesting and they taught good languages. Unfortunatelly, all of them were useless on today's job market. :(
