Not when you get to the level of ‘The guy they call when the grid goes down’ level like my grandpa. The kind of intricate and expansive knowledge needed to address those issues is just the kind of mind fire I desire
He was deeper on the spectrum than me by a wide margin, honestly I have no idea how he managed to be so successful going diagnosed and unassisted his whole life. I bet his wives had a lot to do with it.
Considering his work for Pratt & Whitney I’d guess he had the certs for engineer but he was also ridiculously proud of the fact he ‘came up through the ranks’ so identified more as a Master Electrician.
When he heard I went to college for CS he considered it a waste, I guess he grew up in a world where competence was enough. Not like that anymore

Nothing wrong with being a hedge engineer. I have a GED and associates in liberal arts.
