Try and find a local Hacker Space.
Dave.
It took me as 5 minutes to translate the above coded message
Translation : Find some one who does electronic repairs and join him as Trainee.
And the best advice so far !!
@atcosi I will add my too : Tell him ( The Boss ) that you do not need money at all , and that you will even map the floor for free.
If you need from someone to Help you , you must sacrifice some of your ego in return.
And stay humble as much as possible.
The other way around , are to be sharp and Sparky , and be invited to join in a "local Hacker Space" .
Good luck ..
