If you read the thread, you'll see some other very arrogant & very
condescending people who think folks like you are inferior. They
don't consider what you do to be "real" work. (see below).

I am not one of those. I wish I had half the talent you had, when
it comes to hands-on work. (I don't even know how to solder a basic
connection; I can do it, but it's very sloppy.)

Note that plumbers, motorcycle mechanics, cabinetmakers,
etc. are the kinds of jobs that cannot be "outsourced" to
foreign shores. Just one of the advantages of doing "real"
(physical) work vs. virtual (mental) work. :-)

There's likely an instructional video on Youtube on how to
solder. OTOH, with the prevalence of SMD, horse-shoeing
may be a more practical skill. :-)
