Well, I do not quite use console, but since switching to ION (http://modeemi.cs.tut.fi/~tuomov/ion/ ) I have been much more productive in my dual display environment. I run unclutter to hide my mouse, and use naim for instant messaging, links for some browsing, and mp3blaster for music. Oh, and of course xdaliclock to tell me the time.
I am finishing my degree this semester in Animal Behavior/Neurobiology, but have been a sysadmin and/or network engineer for almost 5 years now. The degree is just paper, the real skills needed by any half-way intelligent person to succeed in a computer related field are just work ethic and ability to learn. Everything else is secondary.

Well, I run naim with screen support, so I can keep myself logged in all the time, detach my session, reattach from home, etc.
Kinda serves as an answering machine for me nowadays.
