Coming to the end of my time in secondary education, I was looking around. 3 or 4 years to do a degree, and I heard the colour TV course at the local tech took six years. It wasn't a hard decision.

I'm still surprised TV repair people didn't transition to fixing automotive black boxes. Each car has several, each more expensive than a colour TV and garages just keep swapping them until they hit the right one. The customer pays for each one in turn. There is no swap to try stock.
