I am going for an EE degree now, an AS degree
and I WISH I was doing it over 4 years instead of 2, this stuff is NOT something I have any natural inclination for!
Best wishes - it’s a difficult course of study. It took my husband almost 7 years, iirc, to get his BS in EE (usually part time).
There’s no doubt that an educated man of the Founders’ generation was *really* educated, but many fields that make a modern American employable didn’t exist at the time.
