This is Grandpa. He lied about his age to go fight Nazis, so only had an 8th grade education, but the Navy taught him electrical engineering. A firm hired him, treated him well, and was then taken over by people who cut his pay and demoted him due to his lack of an education. He retaliated by making the room sized million dollar computer he was designing for them so complicated only he could turn it on. It collected dust for years. Proud of him.
