Just reading H&H from cover to cover could drastically reduce the
time needed to acquire a degree in electronics!

Although that was my degree (69 - 70) I question now whether electronics
is degree level material because so much of it is commonplace and
being dabbled with by schoolkids with their arduinos, robotics and
raspberry pies.

Certainly in my formative years you needed a scientific degree of
some sort or other before being allowed to approach the front panel
of, say, a PDP8 but now you can get for a few pence (almost) an
arduino nano yet it costs you £50K per annum to get a softy!
