> halfway decent engineers self-educate In certain subjects, yes. I learned ~300% of the LV electronics (A&D) taught in my degree before I was 15. But [not rich and poor country] had just a multimeter (no oscilloscope, etc). And forget about real HV, power RF, chemistry 1/2

I mean, I've tried to pick up milling on my own. There have been dozens of times when I've struggled with getting something to work only to find something in the J&L catalog (I miss them, they were great) that I didn't know existed but that was designed for exactly that issue.
