Not quite sure which part of my post lit the fire for some good flaming???? Also, I don't recall saying anything about free.
As for 'soup to nuts', I have actually developed a product, manufactured it, and still selling them. I don't do the DIY PCBs, and always looking for the most professional product. Mine was thru hole PCB and potted. I manufactured the mechanicals in our machine shop as well.
So being on a payroll is not enough? Paid to do a job is not enough? Is that what Seimens does? I think so..... No, I am not Seimens, lets don;t throw that comparison. Just asking "what jobs are EEs typically doing?"
Nearly any job is about delegation of segments. Home building, car building, etc, etc. I can probably stab my way through this stuff, but someone experienced in it can probably cut the clock by quite a margin.
I might consider some level of further education into the EE sectors I really need, but not sure where to turn. Not like my state college will allow me to just "take some classes". maybe a votech but not sure I can really get the meaty stuff there. I don;t need to learn about how relays work.
