Perceptions and realities

摘要

In the late '60s, I was a newly minted EE graduate from the University of Toronto. The job market was hot, and I was offered two jobs: One paid well as a "catalogue jockey" at the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corp), and the other, at Ferranti-Packard, paid poorly but included real design work. I took the second job, because it sounded like a better learning experience.
