My dad knew and he sorta showed me at his shop, or one of his moonlighting part-timers did (he had a couple of guys who were senior techs at Sikorsky). I didn't say I had the knowledge of a trained electronics tech, but I am sure I could have learned if I wanted to do so. I did "ace" physics, calc, and chem in high school, and these were all AP courses taught in small classes by first-rate, no-nonsense teachers. I'm sure you had first rate teachers. Problem is you were a 3rd rate learner. |

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, on the other hand, seemingly did not have what it took to get into an open admission community college. |
