Wait, electrical engineers don't know how TVs work? What is electrical engineering about, then, lighting?

No, you're absolutely right, electrical engineering is all about television repair. In fact, in some languages (e.g. Dutch) they don't issue "Electrical Engineering" degrees, instead they issue "Television Repair" degrees.

Alas, while some so-called "electrical engineers" like my father may know how televisions work, they don't know the first thing about repairing a cracked cathode ray tube (which is what was wrong with my great-grandmother's TV when she asked him to repair it).
