The thing is that despite the Great Depression we always had food on the table. I also had a father that taught me, well Mom taught me also but that had more to do with behavior. So when I showed up at school my stomach was full and I had a decent night's sleep. This is not the case with a lot of children today.

Plus we did not have all those "experts" telling the teachers how to teach which was a distinct benefit.

As for engineers well the IEEE did make me a full member and suggested I really should apply as a senior member.
