RE: As a former IT pro ...

That's often true.

I didn't start out to be a nerd, and actually I'm still not. To qualify as a computer nerd, one MUST have a good understanding of assembly language and be able to peek, poke and ping. I have none of those skills. However, I'm pretty good at writing tasty spaghetti code in BASIC.

I think if a person sets out to be a nerd, they will be successful, but probably won't be a good teacher. I set out to be a teacher (music), and ended up being a computer software trainer only because I had learned enough BASIC so that I could write programs for audio and acoustical applications. But whenever I taught a class (and still now when I help resolve a problem) I always kept in mind how little I knew when I first started out. It's very helpful to put oneself in the shoes of the recipient.
