Two very different kinds of beasts..

Some of my collegues for uni admitted they cant even solder.. an they are PhD eventually.. me, I am just Bsc
The guy worked for General Electric following his Bachelor's, worked on turbines and lightning arrestors. He then did his PHD and seems to have become a full time academic (on the teaching staff at various universities). Then he published a 730 page circuit analysis textbook in 1987. He took up Astronomy as hobby in his youth and began working/writing on it, following retirement in 1998, (I believe, from the Youtube).

Cheers
