Junior year of high school I took basic and senior year fortran & cobol. That was in the mid-70s and I went into the Air Force in 80 on a guaranteed contract for computer programming.
Command line stuff can be a pain. Even on the mainframe we access through an emulator on our laptops and for pushing some data around we use native ftp which is all command line stuff in the run window.
I do have a small bit of Unix experience from back in the mid-90s with GE that I don't remember too well. It was on a failed effort to port a mainframe system to a server running Solaris. I did quite a bit with shell scripts and I remember, what were they, oh yeah Awk and Sed commands and Cron for scheduling.
