I don't think we got off topic. I think too often giftedness is the excuse not to play by social norms.
And I think that real giftedness is the ability to communicate with college professors and fit in with the beer crowd. Because the beer crowd can have some interesting things to say. They do talk about other things beside football. And helping a child fit into any situation can be a seriously needed talent in the job. Doesn't have to be, but generally helps long term success.
And you are a much better engineer if you get down to the assembly floor and talk the talk and walk the walk with those people doing the job.
If you can create a job that suits you, great. Then people wouldn't posting about it.
