The issue is that actually getting knowledge is slow to come by in
college. I got 2 semesters of electronic engineering in 4 weeks in a
Navy school. That was just part of 18 weeks of training that came at
us fast. You didn't have to learn it, they have ships they want to
have painted.

Yeah, I'm *sure* you got the equivalent of two semesters of engineering
training in four weeks. Right. I believe that.

The navy electronics courses are absolutley first rate and easily
comparable to the Circuits 101 and Circuits 102 courses that EEs take
in terms of practical, hands-on knowledge. In addition to circuit
theory, EEs also need advanced mathematics, physics and design which
is necessary for theoretical analysis and modeling. The navy does not
offer that because it is not needed to do practical work in the field.
