Anybody with a strong math background who is available can get into any of our jobs. They might not be in our company for very much longer. If you don't have a strong math background, you are weak , under all circumstances. So, my advice to students is to learn while you're in high school because it's the only place that's going to be kind. College is very tough, and in the workforce, especially in PSINet, you're either up or out.
Technology now is an integral part of society.
Just like industrialization was an integral part of the society in the 20th century. The technology world is very different because the information flow is faster. The best case is they walk into their kindergarten, they see a computer, they walk over, and they boot it up, because they used a computer at home. And they walk over to a calculator and they can add and subtract on it. That produces a very fast learning child, and it doesn't take anything away from the fun they have as a child or from their underlying skill sets.
