My high school IT teacher said this outright. He was a FOSS guy, but he said employers will expect MS Office, so we're going to be learning that.

Funnily enough proprietary software is frowned upon in my professional domain. Im not mad though, the excel commands and whatnot still work in libre office spreadsheets.

Unrelatedly, doing statistics in a spreadsheet program sounds like absolute hell.

That is interesting: In Geography we could choose a seminar using R or SPSS. There were more R than SPSS seminars available. I did choose R, of course.

The fun part: now it is beneficial to be able to do the same in Python. (:
