If one of these clients of yours became an engineer, doctor, or lawyer, would you want their services for yourself or your family?

if someone shows that kind of dedication to engineering, and make no mistake, this is engineering, I would certainly hire them at least as an apprentice.

one can settle into a doctor or lawyer career some time later. one can't learn to think out of the box on a whim.
