That’s because you’re not thinking like a tenured school teacher or professor. I spent more time uneducating freshly minted electrical engineers than anything else. I would tell them your real education began when you hit the shop floor. I was amazed at how little knowledge the had of even basic electronics, or ac and dc theory for that matter.
The newer crops are learning even less, IMHO. There are some bright stars, but the increasing sense of entitlement, more than anything, makes my jaw drag on the floor.
The really galling thing is how they speak so loudly about how much they know about things when it is evident they know nothing. Works great for Power Point presentations but when it comes to actual knowledge and execution it leaves a lot to be desired. Unfortunately, that ignorance is often covered up by work being assigned to those who know how to tell the time of day. And those folks are increasingly looking for Galt's Gulch.
