I was able to take 1st and third year electronics in high school. I had to skip year 2 since it was only offered the exact same time as gifted english, which they wouldn't let me out of. The unfortunate bit is that it was really more of a vo-tech class so I was in class with quite a few people that weren't nearly as interested as I was, to put it nicely. One of the guys at my work station missed 3 months of school because he quite literally blew 3 of his fingers off trying to make a homemade grenade in the back yard. The really unfortunate bit for me is that this was all 15 years ago, and I've forgotten 95% of what I learned. Oh well.
