Leo Laporte info I didn’t know
So, I’m cruising around the Leo Laporte Empire last night and happen upon a link to his resume. Typical mumbo jumbo for the most part. Until you get to the education part.
Education Chinese History major, Yale University, 1973-76
First thing I notice? The Chinese History Major part. Wow! I guess I got the wrong degree for a job like Leo’s. Silly me went with the CS degree. Jake over at Jake’s Corner and SGB must have known something that I didn’t, as he has a degree in History and Political Science.(Jake: You’ll have to correct me if I’m wrong.)
Second thing I notice? YALE! I knew Leo was a smart cookie, but holy cow. Nope, Jake doesn’t have a Yale degree. (Neither do I if you were wondering)

I think its a history major thing. I’m sure leo understands. The CS major was too restricted for a free spirited geek like me.
Maybe its a matter of the extreams… when your hobbies and jobs are on the cutting edge - one fills their mind with the other end of things. Such as troop deployments of Alexander the great.

Well of course he’s a Chinese History Major, Yale’s CS program is only rated like 10th in the nation.
I suspect they may not have offered much of a CS major in 73′ either. It’s funny how many people in that age range ended up doing something computer related and have a degree in a completely unrelated field. I guess you never know where you’ll end up in 20 years.

Oh and one other thing. Did you notice he has an Emmy Award?
