    I remember talking to an older fella about his experience becoming a programmer back in the 60s (I think). He told me that he decided it was time to start a career so he went to a nearby IBM office and asked for a job. They gave him an aptitude test and then hired him the same day. He wrote code for their mainframes until he retired.
