It was declining anyhow.

I think that people who can actually do component-level electronic
design are becoming rare. Kids in college type more than they solder.
I've had interns who are afraid of electricity and panic when I ask
them to analyze a 2-resistor voltage divider.

10 volt battery feeding series 9K and 1K resistors. What's the voltage
across the 1K? They stutter and it's hilarious.

I took a tour of the Cornell EE school, and I counted screens. I saw
23 computer screens and one oscilloscope.

If EE grads are any good, the semiconductor outfits scoop up the best.

It takes no skill to rant endlessly about politics. The thing I like
about circuit design is that it has to work and it doesn't take long
to find out if it does.
