I learned how to time things and operate a system in parallel by working in commercial kitchens. I learned how to work with people and not be disheartened by them through working retail. And wrenching on cars requires diagnostics and logical thinking to determine what is actually broken without throwing a pile of parts at the problem.

- creativity and an understanding of humans that, at the least, borders on genuine interest. unless you design chips then who cares I suppose??
