Hi Dan, N8FGV

I also remember how valuable my amateur radio background was to me
during the very hard selection for my engineering  job for the Electrical
and Electronic maintenance into a plant in Italy 50% with the U.S.Steel 
in Pittsburgh, PA.

I hold certain that my expertise in electrical and electronic engineering
gained with the job over the years was made easier in virtue of my previous
technical interest in the amateur radio particularly studying and building
for many years real circuits that were working as described into the
ARRL Handbook.
