Like you, I found my BSEE program to be a 16 hour a day process for 
five years (coop at the Univ of Cincy, so it took an extra year). And, 
like you, I've been studying SOMETHING nearly every day since I 
graduated. 

I strongly agree that a solid eduction teaches you HOW to learn, gives 
you a BASE upon which to build, and, perhaps most important, it gives 
you a great BS filter. 

Because there are no real college programs for pro audio or 
broadcasting, there are many good guys working in those fields who, by 
necessity, are self taught. Now a senior citizen, I've run into a fair 
number of good ones, who have, through a combination of some formal 
education and a lot of self study, turned themselves into very good 
engineers. I've also run into a lot of guys who have not, but who 
think that, by virtue of their grey hair and job survival, are 
experts.
