Bryan,
Perhaps you should not have been required to as part of a degree program, but I can imagine a situation in which a prospective employer might reasonably require exactly that. How would that have hurt you? Mightn't it even have helped you in that job? Is there something wrong--beneath a writer's dignity perhaps--with actually learning something practical at the local vo-tech?
Just asking.
