But nooooooo.............. the Republicans here won't do it< sorry Illinois owns that title - Calif. can be Avis.And we have only one party in charge over the fiasco here... the Dem's here raise taxes all the time,but the money never gets where it's supposed to - so be careful what you wish for

Very few people have the aptitude to teach themselves the physics and math required to do electrical engineering design. Like I said, I have never met anyone who did this.

Few people can do it. <<He started out as a designer and worked his way up>> Was this after he taught himself the math?
Originally Posted By gottaluvdavillains <<<He started out as a designer and worked his way up>> Was this after he taught himself the math?> He learned it all on the job. He has been with his job for over 20 years now and before that he apprenticed as a machinist and designed furniture. He came out to CA from a rural area in the Mid West. There wasn't money for college or food most of the time - He was determined to learn what he could. If it wasn't for his family life he probably would have went to college - but in the 70's it was better to just get a job and help his mom support his 4 younger siblings.
