$5 thirty years ago is about $17 now (says one of those online inflation calculators). Be prepared to shell out. :lol: Good on him for choosing EE. There's damn little in the 21st century that doesn't connect to technology somehow.kilted1":y1iy48um said:Thanks everyone!
My eldest grandson graduated from High School last week and enters college this fall (electrical engineering) I have to tell him Grandad set the bar real high :lol: See if we can't have a friendly competition for grades. My Grandfather used to give us kids $5 for every 'A' we earned (his version of keeping us inspired) That was pretty big money to a kid 30 years ago!
One of my brothers taught Middle and High School English in NY State public schools for 25 years and is now teaching English at Emma Willard The youngest owns a coffee shop, so we've done alright. Nothing wrong with teaching as a career, in fact I think its a noble craft, if done well. congrats to your son and 'daughter-in-law' :cheers:

Anyway, congratulations and accolades! I'm a fan of life long learning. Gotta keep the mind nimble.kilted1":dk3zdhex said:The coming Pre-Calc and Physics courses next year scare me a bit :lol:
Well mainly because I avoided them then :lol: I went as far as intro to trig (sin cos and tan of a right triangle inside 90 degrees) I have no geometry, or 'advanced trig' background and those two will come first, then pre-calc and physics (also not taken in HS) However, I worked for 7 years as an airframe mechanic and 14+ years in construction, so I have the application side of it all 'down' :cheers:dougc905":lujmrzbg said:And why should these scare you? It will be just like high school, 30 years ago!
