Attitudes like this are why I did CompE instead of CS. Yes you do learn OO in early CS classes, however you can use procedural programming in the real world to get excellent results. It is "bad code", but a lot of coders are interested in results more than "the current landscape of programming".

You totally misread me. I'm not saying you should use OO to be a good programmer. I'm saying you should know it.
