No, you would not. [No lack of confidence here.] It's not like it would take me very long to learn, either; especially if I can get my hands on some specs and learning materials from home.

So with that in mind, I'm thinking I might be due for a little career change. Find some work that's a bit more "hands on" than simply staring at some monitors all day. It'll help me get a better idea of what kind of tech is available here, and it might even help me make connections that'll get me access to more parts and materials.
