I am of the age where typing was a job for women and so never learned to type. Hunt and peck.

I was in high school in the mid '60s, and almost everyone took typing classes, male and female. It was not a matter of doing it as a job, but since it was mostly a college prep high school, and papers in college were going to be required to be typed. The high school actually required all papers to be typed, and correction fluid was not allowed, so I often did have to retype many pages when I made a mistake.
