Well, they're was a networking major at the college. I had 4 classes of Cisco that discussed all things relating to subnets/binary/switches/vpn's/the 7 layer model/etc. I don't use it very often, but it was a good to know.
I also had 3 classes of Novell = total waste of time (for me).
And 3 classes of Microsoft. 1 of XP/Clients, 1 of Server '03, 1 of combining the 2 elements (servers and clients). Great class.
I also took a super basic programming (Visual Basic) class that was required. Thank God it was only 1 class....
I had 2 'PC Troubleshooting' classes. Very helpful for me because at the time I made my decision to go into Computers, I had never even opened a computer before. The 1st was a hardware, the 2nd a software. Very helpful for me, but would be SUPER boring now.
Then there were 2 Electircal Engineering classes I got put in by accident. One was all about circuits. It was pretty cool and I got to build several basic circuits with switchs and LED's and AND/OR/NOR/etc chips and resistors... Pretty cool stuff.
The other was a basic CAD class. Was interesting enough.
I started at a differnet college for a different career before I switched so I didn't have to take any Math/Science/English. It was a 2 year degree so my day was basically Microsoft in the morning, lunch, Cisco in the afternoon, go home.
