I attended public high school and graduated with a B.S.E. with an electrical engineering major from Duke University (Durham, NC). As I stated above, the theortical technical education, as well as the training in design principles has proven to be very useful especially in my technical work and even recording engineering, even if I don't use it every day in the normal course of my on-air work. And, of course, the general "liberal education" has a value that can't be overstated.
