Why would I want Navy electronics training?

I know, it is a science, you are an artist.

I took and got A's in a good number of university math and
science classes.
As I have and had no interest in being in the navy, why would I
want navy
electronics training?

I suppose if you want to spend 2 years learning what you could
learn
in 6 weeks, go for it.

Ahh. Your anti-intellectual nonsense

Why is learning things faster anti intellectual?
It seems to me they dumb down schools to the lowest common
denominator
and call it being intellectual. How is that right?
It is funny that the only schools who operate that way are the ones
that charge you by the hour so it is not all that amazing.
Schools run by people who have an interest in teaching you
quickly, go
much faster with classes 7 or 8 hours a day at a much faster tempo
and
if you can't keep up, you get kicked out.
Personally I prefer going fast. Even the IBM schools and the navy
school was not really challenging me. Public school was a joke to me
and my private school was barely holding my attention.
Give me the books and a little nudge in the right direction and I
will
ace your test.

Fortunately, for the good of mankind, there are ways to learn other
than
by rote.

Who said anything about "rote". The best learning is "experience" and
you do not get that in school . . .

Sure you do. Well, maybe not in the courses you took.

I understand the university will teach you plenty of things with no
practical purpose. It is reflected in the unemployment and
underemployment rate of college graduates. That manifests itself in
the miserable rate that the trillion plus dollars worth of student
loans are being repaid.

Hehehe. Your anti-intellectualism is just hysterical. You think "trade
school" is the answer for everyone. Your sort of rigidity leads to a
dumbed-down nation full of worker drones incapable of abstract thinking
and supportive of, oh, Donald Trump.

Your colleges are producing thinkers. We need a few doers to make
something happen. Think and dream all you want Krause. You aren't going
anywhere without assistance from Dr Dr.

You seem to be fixated on my wife, who is, indeed, a woman of great
accomplishment. What sort of job did Mrs. OldFart hold?
