Schools are helpful, but the minute you walk out the door, you're not done. You have to keep educating yourself or you fall WAY behind fast. I left school knowing how to mix chemicals and make lightbulbs light and induction motors spin, as well as how to design TV sets with tubes and transistors. Just a couple of years later, everything I knew was useless.Just one year out of school, I took correspondence courses in integrated circuits and broadcast equipment. Sadly, what they were teaching was even older and more busted than what I learned when I was in school. But I got my first FCC license out of the deal. From there, I made it a point to always be inquisitive. Anything that was new and upcoming was something that I embraced on my own. I wanted to know everything that made it tick, and everything that would stop it from ticking. All of it independent study when I saw something interesting that could be the "next big thing." Learned high power transmitters, communications, fiber optics, computers, programming, satellite, you name it. You can NEVER stop learning or you'll fall behind fast. I'm still seeking out the new, that's why I'm real happy in what I'm doing right now as well. And as always, right on the leading edge of tech. :) |
