I taught myself Pascal when working for GE. Wrote various utilities and a SQA bug tracking database in Pascal while working at the MRI division.
Feature creep caused it's demise and we converted it over to a 3rd party DBS system.

Anyway, Pascal is an easy language to work in, I'm just surprised they still teach it as most companies that I know of are going with straight "C" or an OOP/Net language for just about everything.
