Hey Avalon, (Al).... time for a career change now that you've completed TZ's first course?

Well, I have seriously considered it based on some bad days at work (engineering is great, but coupled with bad management and broken promises, well, you get the picture....).

I have to say I was quite a bit more shaky than I thought I would be. Under a 10x loupe my hands looked like I was operating a pneumatic hammer for god's sake! I guess a sign of getting old......

I am having fun with the course, but not sure I want to "spoil the purity of the hobby" by making it my vocation.....(ouch!)

I have two reasons why I have not done that school, one is time and the second is I know I would probably not be very good.
