I also remember how valuable my amateur radio background was to me when I was an engineering student, when some of my classmates couldn't even read the color bands on a resistor and had no idea how the theory that we were studying was applied to real world applications.

Hi Dan, N8FGV
I also remember how valuable my amateur radio background was to me during the very hard selection for my engineering job for the Electrical and Electronic maintenance into a plant in Italy 50% with the U.S.Steel in Pittsburgh, PA.
I hold certain that my expertise in electrical and electronic engineering gained with the job over the years was made easier in virtue of my previous technical interest in the amateur radio particularly studying and building for many years real circuits that were working as described into the ARRL Handbook.
