It's my opinion that there are few hobbyists that really work with
parts and make circuits, and most EE grads are EE/CE dual majors that
code more than they solder, and don't have instincts for electricity.

Here's a youtube on the subject:

Some of these guys blame surface mount, which seems wrong to me. There
are lots of thru-hole parts and parts kits around.

I'd like to hire a few kids who love component-level electronics, but
they are hard to find.
