You are correct but I do blame pre-college education system.
I took every science, electronics and chemistry class I could in Jr High and High School.
I finally ran out to classes to take.
When you are raising up a generation who don’t even know when sex they are, you are raising a generation of village idiots.
My worthless but very well funded school district offered a little biology or chemistry I think.
Many of us would have loved electronics and the like.
If you weren’t 4 year college bound, you weren’t important to the school system.
