I draw a 10 volt battery connected to two resistors, 9K in series with 1K.

The problem there is 'draw', no reality.
The battery will have an internal resistance, maybe discharged too.

What's the voltage across the 1K?

I hired a 3-month intern a month ago who failed the test. He said 9
volts. I hired him anyway and fired him as an intern on Friday. He's
full time now. He's mostly a software engineer. I'm teaching him basic
electronics now.

Well, that is OK.
But needs experimenting, building circuits, else all vaporware.
Same with software, write it, test it, else just imagination...
It may not be / work for everybody..
Some run for US precedent..
When I have to believe the crap trump puts out these days (about Iran for example)
4 sure (or maybe even 00 sure <where 00 is the symbol for infinite> ) we will have
WW3 no matter who is winning the electtions.

I dream of some day finding a kid who gets the voltage divider right
and has something intelligent so say about the next test, an NPN
emitter follower.

Ge or Si?
