Hm. My current employer would probably not be considered professional by these metrics, indeed :-). I entered this job as a SQL Server developer/admin, but for the first four months, I worked only with Microsoft Access... They actually were planning to move to SQL Server, but those plans were put off for a good while. So, I had plenty of learning to do to learn about operating Microsoft Access and Visual Basic to figure out how to program for them, which came out of my time and time at work (since I could at least do a little research here and there while at work to figure out how to solve problems).

Then they wanted to have integration with various web APIs , and that required some knowledge of C# and PowerShell, so I had to study up on those in much the same manner. They also removed the networking admin they had working here before I arrived from his duties and committed him to working in the warehouse full-time, because I was younger, and as the ideology here goes, younger people know more about computers, so I was better-suited to administering Active Directory and other network tasks (which I had no idea how to do, so more research for me!). The general mindset here is that programming is easy enough to learn, so it shouldn't take too long to learn a new language if you need to get something done. If only it were that simple :Wow:
