I didn't really learn that much useful there

Do you think that was a problem with that particular school, with where you were in life at that time, or with the technical school model in general?

I'm very fortunate in that I feel very good about my educational experiences. I worked very hard. I spent many, many hours studying for almost all of my courses, so my earning my degrees was a real accomplishment. I think the result of that work is that I'm pretty strong on the science behind what I do in the work world. I'm often discouraged when I find so many other people who didn't give the same effort and don't feel the same way.

It was more the fact that I was already well into the electronics field and so I just need the "piece of paper", so that I could prove I "knew something" so to speak. I embarrassed one of my instructors, once--(by fixing a tv in minutes that he could not fix in 2 quarters) with near disastrous results!!

I was an avionics mechanic in the Army. I wasn't very good in the practical areas; but I was #2 in the AIT class (Then-hubby was 1st).
