Although I think he misses an important point. Even today's good students aren't as good anymore as they came 20 or more years ago. For EEs the reason is that while they are motivated most never had exposure to real hardware. Because everything was given to them. When their radio, toy, whatever broke they just got new one and chucked the broken one. It's just like with any other task. For example the best drivers are not the smart cookies but the ones with half a million miles or more under the belt. Nothing and certainly no amount of school activity can replace real experience. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ "gmail" domain blocked because of excessive spam.
