Huh. If they pay there like they do in Missouri, you're pretty close to that pay level already!
My mother is a retired Special Education teacher. She says the worst part is that the kids KNOW that you can't touch them.

FINALLY!!! All I needed was for it to be put in words I understand!!!
YESYESYES!!! I remember enough from my learnin' during my "first college-hood" days back in the 70s to finally understand what's going on. You dump enough electrons into a circuit that is wanting to soak them up, and something's gonna give...
Whew! <wipes forehead...> I finally got a decent handle on EV range vs. battery technology, and now I understand "flux capacitors"!!! (That's from somewhere in Darin's thread, I think...
) Now it's on to the rest of the pieces parts. Maybe in 20 years or so I'll have everything figured out in my "gotta-understand-it-thoroughly-or-too-chicken-to-try" brain, and I can do it all by my lonesome!!!
(Thanks, MPaul!)
