Another point about learning to build. The skills I learned and developed over the years not only have given me (and other model builders I know) an edge in every job I've ever had, but have allowed me to stay in and grow for 25 years in a job field where the average stay is less than 5 years. My employers consider me one of the few keepers in the engineering department.

Trying to help others by teaching is just a way of holding on to good fortune by spreading it along.
