The problem is that studens were misled about their employment
opportunities and then defaulted on their government backed student
loans when they couldn't get jobs. The ITT training wasn't quite as
rigorous as the US Navy's and neither were their admission standards.



The Navy has admission standards? Beyond fogging a mirror?


You'd be surprised.

I doubt you would get much more than the statistical guessing average
(~25%) on the ETST (a test that is a prereq for Navy electronics
training)

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.

Not to worry. You wouldn't qualify for it anyway.



You mean, my soldering and assembling a half dozen Radio Shack kits
(from the Crown Street store) while I was in junior high and high
school, my ability to take completely apart and properly reassemble
outboard motors and lawnmower engines, and my A's and B's in algebra,
geometry, chemistry, calculus, and physics in high school wouldn't have
done it for me? Damn! Then I guess I would have had to go to college and
not join the navy. Drats!


Our company trains middle aged ladies with high school diplomas to be electronic assemblers in a few days. The kits you built are the equivalent of paint-by-number paintings. Your daddy's outboards that you may have torn down are a far cry from today's which require special tools and likely factory training to do what you claim.

You just don't get it. You may have taken algebra and physics, but the ability to apply them, along with electronic theory, to design and repair electronic circuits require *far* more of an understanding than that Radio Shack kit could even hint at. And to be honest, a good electronic technician has innate skills that just can't be taught, especially in a college environment. You can't teach a kid to ride a bike at a seminar, or a lecture.
