No code?  Really?  When I got my license there was only one
kind, FULL.   I only got it so that I could build and use radio
control model airplanes, but my interest grew.  It was the big
thing in high school to have a ham license.  (Our school had a
station.)

Just as in college, the big thing was to have a pilots license for
all of us Aero Engineer types.
