My son, when training to be an inspector, was raised on tech and knew how to use some, but not all tools. Was well versed in one, and competent in the other. He took to inspecting and is the best in the region in my opinion.

I took on an very good Master electrician who's my age, thinking I could fast track him into the field. 3 years later he's still not solo. May never be. The tech, phone, app just gives him fits. Best electrician in the business. But the app dominates him.

My middle brother was extremely mechanically inclined. I am moderately mechanically inclined, extremely woodworking / power tool inclined and did tech work for 25 years as a side job to firefighting. Now inspecting in retirement.

When my son was growing up, he had a friend, now maybe 28, who could strip any motor down to the bolts, repair and put it back together again. Kid was amazing, but couldn't finish a book to save his life.

GOD gave us all talents. If we let him steer us, he will place us where we need to be. I know that's the case with me.

Character is not developed in moments of temptation and trial. That is when it is intended to be used.
