an AA if they also took 30 semester units of liberal arts courses

units of advanced math / english.


Uh-huh. Try apprenticing in the electrical trades.

Most electricians can read the code book and look at the tables. They
do
not have the ability to engineer the systems. 3-4 years of work and
some
schooling. Does not add up to a college degree level of course work.

That is playing slightly fast with the facts. I know enough of the trade
to
appreciate that there is a good deal to know to *know* the trade.
Some schooling = two year associate degree. That starts to approach the
investment associated with a college degree. When you add the supervised
OJT
you have as much investment as an electronics engineering degree.

I know enough of the trade, and is no where near an EE degree. I have an
EE, and is a whole lot more study went in to that than a electricians
schooling.
