Definitely my high school typing class. I was bored silly in the second half of the class, but if I had known that my living was going to be dependent on typing, then I would have signed up next year, too.

Other than that, my second major in Communications was important, become I learned to think in terms of hierarchy theory and logical types, which means that I have no trouble understanding inheritance and other peculiarities of object oriented software languages.
