> High schools in Australia have electronics classes.
They do? None of those I know (high school 2000 - 2005) in Perth did electronics. We had the usual woodworking/metalworking/art/photography electives, plus drama & music, but no electronics. We also had extremely sub-par computing classes, with no option for a T.E.E level (i.e. contributes to your University entrance score) computing class whatsoever.
I did electronics in year 10 in Perth around that time. It was a pretty neat class, we got to program a PIC as well as learn some basic circuit design stuff.
