and the material
had always seemed just a little beyond
my grasp. Score
another point
for
CIE.
Another thing is that CIE offered
a complete
package:
FCC
License and technical school diploma. Completion
time
was reasonably short, and I could attain
something
definite
without
dragging
it out over an interminable num-
ber of years. Here
I
eliminated those
schools which gave
college
credits instead of graduation diplomas. I work in
the
R and D department of a large company and it's been
my observation that technical school graduates generally
hold better positions than men with a few college credits.
A college degree is
one thing, but I'm
32
years
old,
and
10 or 15 years of
part -time college just isn't for nic.
No,
I
wanted
to graduate
in a year
or two,
not just .dart.
If
a
school
offers both
resident
and correspondence
training,
it's my feeling that the correspondence men are
sort of on the outside of things.
Because I wanted
to
be
a full -fledged student instead
of just a
tagalong; CIE's
exclusively
home
study program
naturally attracted
nie.
Then, too, it's
the men who know their
theory
who
are moving
ahead where I work. They can read schematics
and
understand
circuit operation. I
want
to be a good
theory man.
From the
foregoing,
you can see I did
not select
CIE
in
any haphazard fashion. I knew what I was looking for,
and only CIE
had all
the
things
I
wanted.
Two
Pay
Raises in
Less Than a Year
Only eleven
months
after
I enrolled
with
CIE,
I passed
the FCC
exams for First Class Radiotelephone
License
with
Radar
Endorsement. I had a pay increase
even be-
fore I got my license and
another
only
ten months later.
I'm getting to be known as a theory
man around work,
instead of one
of
the screwdriver mechanics.
These are the tangible results.
But
just
as important are
the
things
I've
learned. I am smarter now than I had ever
thought I
would
be. It feels
good
to
know that I know
what
I
know now. Schematics that used to confuse me
completely are now easy for me to read and interpret.
Yes, it is
nice
to
be smarter, and that's probably the most
satisfying result of my CIE experience.
Praise
for Student
Service
In closing, I'd like to get in a compliment for Mr. Chet
Martin.
who
has faithfully seen to it that my supervisor
knows
I'm studying. I think
Mr. Martin's
monthly reports
to my supervisor
and
generally
flattering
commentary
have
been
in large part responsible for my pay increases. Mr.
Martin
has given me much more student
service
than "the
contract calls for," and I certainly
owe
him a
sincere debt
of gratitude.
And finally,
there is Mr. Toni Duffy. my instructor. I
don't believe I've
ever
had
the individual
attention
in
any
classroom
that I've received from Mr. Duffy. He is clear,
authoritative,
and spared no
time or effort to answer my
every
question. In
Mr. Dully, I've received
everything
I
could
have
expected from
a
full-time
private tutor.
Fin very,
very satisfied with
the whole CIE experience
ENROLL
UNDER NEW
G.I. BILL
All
CIE
courses are available
under the
new
G.I. Bill. If you
served on active duty
since January 31, 1955. or are in service
now,
check box on reply
card or coupon for G.I. Bill information.
Every penny
I spent for my course was returned many
times over,
both
in increased
wages and
in personal
satis-
faction.
Perhaps you
too, like
Harry Remmert, have realized
that
to get ahead in Electronics today, you need to know much
more than the
"screwdriver
mechanics." They're limited
to "thinking
with
their
hands "...learning by taking
things
apart and
putting them
back
together...soldering
connec-
tions, testing circuits, and replacing
components. Under-
standably, their pay is limited -and their future, too.
But for men like Harr Renuuert, who have gotten
the
training they need in
the
fundamentals
of
Electronics,
there
are
no such limitations. As
"theory
nicn," they think
with their heads, not
their
hands.
For trained technicians
like this, the future is bright. Thousands of men are ur-
gently needed in
virtually
every field of Electronics,
from
two
-way mobile
radio to computer testing
and
trouble-
shooting.
And with
this demand, salaries
have skyrocketed.
Many technicians earn $8,000,
510,000,
512,000
or more
a year.
