OK, you win

Well, I have a City & Guilds Pt. III certificate in Electronics, in Colour TV Reception & Digital Techniques. I was told it's the equivalent of 'half a degree'.

Unfortunately that was 16 years ago and in real life I had very little call to use the knowledge I'd acquired.

Seems to me unless you're at College/Uni or actually involved in the design of Circuits, most folks won't be versed in matters Electronic.

However, some of it must have rubbed off, I can still usually find my way round a circuit diagram and can repair/fault find on some things.
