Not worthy to be an Extra?

Before I took the extra exam I looked at some of the "practice tests"
available.

As a BSEE that worked his way through school working as an avionics
technician, like you I found the theory part to be trivial and the
regulatory part to require some before hand study.

A very close friend of mine decided after 50+ years on the sidelines
to get her ham license. She did the sample exams and aced all three
in one sitting. When I remarked that she had a BSEE and MSEE from
her earlier career in the electronics industry (she's been a forensic
odontologist for 30+ years now) she replied that there was almost
nothing on the exam that dealt with what she learned in school 50
years ago. I can understand that.
