great pride, but I now wish, I had gone even further, because
now I am at the top of my pay scale, and need more advanced degrees to
move up. It would have been much easier 20 some years ago. Like my dad
used to say : School isn't for evryone, the world needs garbage men too.
This is true, but... you can always work for yourself if the people
above you put pieces of paper above their firsthand knowledge of the
value of your skills.
Also, in your other post about electronics, the area involving digital
logic, which is most of the game nowadays, does not require any
nontrivial math, chemistry or whatever. Both of you can be right in
your assertions.

For Electronics work which I have performed since 1976, the following
factors were hepful. The vocational schools during the last two years of
High school, Military derived education and continually staying in touch
with technological advances is pretty much a necessity to stay successful.
Education before that seemed to be most effective when presented in a
modular form where students studied at their ability. These students
could then help their peers when they excelled past the other students.
Helping others learn is a learning experience in itself. When you teach,
you inherit the thinking processes for those you teach. A lot of
concepts are better understood when viewed from different perspectives
and at different thought levels.
Regarding license issues. No amount of education helps to make the
conditions agreed to clear to understand.
