You might recall that I recently broke my car with an amazing feat of strength.
Well, I got it fixed yesterday, and received further evidence that while having doctors, lawyers, etc. in your family sounds impressive, it's much more useful to have plumbers, carpenters and car mechanics.
Case in point: The part that needed to be replaced cost $24. Labor to install said part? $90.
I shouldn't have discarded those brochures I received from mechanic schools when I was applying to colleges.
