I have extensive electronics background and education, and have gone through alot of software classes. I am not in the electronics and software field right now as far as employment is concerned. I am very tired of keeping up with everything after being in the field for thirty years. Is it worth My while to learn C programming ???. Would the knowledge of C improve my life any at all, I know Pascal but Im tired and weary of the mess in this field and wish I could clear my mind of it all and relax and have some peace. I hate to be snubbed by the elite nobobs in the electronics field, because I dont know C programming, who can say??? should I go ahead and fight the compitition as always??

What is this, Dear Abby or something? It's too soon for April Fool postings, so on the off-chance that you're serious, my answer would be: Learn C if you need to know it to do your job, or if you're interested in it. Don't learn it to impress people; that's a stupid reason.
