that shouldn't limit you. During you time at dec some of the better VMS

Didn't even have degrees in computers or electronics!

You can still go and learn just the degree thing is a PITA.

And regurgatate what was required. Seriously, those that do have a lot
of things presented to them and the biggest is the tools needed to
explore.

I appreciate my college time even if I never did some of the bits needed
for the degree. It is a help with wading through network analysis and
project requiring dealing with transfer functions in loops and servo
systems.
In the end being willing to read and learn gave me breadth and depth
needed
to tackle a lot of things I'd never done before.
