Cool. I got my first job on a bet. The boss went "You're interesting, but we need someone who knows SQL. Do you think you can learn?" "No problem!" I brazenly responded. He pushed a stack of paper at me and said "There's the manual. You need to know that by tomorrow." I got the job :D As you say, I wasn't that good, but I demonstrated I could learn fast enough to catch up... The next day I had to start learning javascript. Three days later I had to start debugging the bash programs. On the job training really meant something, and I loved it.
