Your letters: Careers advice alone is not enough

I admit to laughing when I read the editor's letter in the February 2023 issue of E&T asking readers about the careers advice they received at school. In 1952, it was realised that I had to have a GCE in physics if I wanted to work in electronics. I had a meeting with my school's headmaster, to discuss studying for this at night school at the city's technical college. His reply was: “You want to go into electronics? Don’t be ridiculous, boy”.
