Oh, and it's unlikely you'll find many out of school that can give you the first 10 elements in order. Not exactly a value adding skill that, something like galvanic corrosion and mismatched pairs is somewhat more useful (or was when we built cars, boats and plane parts in this country of ours)
Just sayin.
Yeah....galvanic corrosion. forgot about that one.

So did the engineers that built the desalination plant in Qld. 12 months after commissioning and the damn thing fell apart. Simple stuff, no? Ask anyone who owns a boat.
