Agree. Luckily, I am good at what I do for a living. If this type stuff was my job I suspect I would either be out of work or paid very poorly. Electronics and time are very taxing on my brain.. which is why I play with them. I specifically avoided these things as a career path because they were very foreign to me. Now, I am at a point where I want to attack those things because they challenge me. Also, they allow me to develop my skills at programming; which is my first technical love.
