Ed,
Don't be so hard on yourself!
I have been in the engineering field for 37 years and like any other profession, there are good and bad ones.
I know of engineers that don't even know how to change the oil on their cars or even how to replace a belt. Many of them come to me to ask automotive questions about their cars because they know I do my own work and race.
Many times I prefer to use engineering techs in lieu of degreed engineers because the techs are more creative and usually have more hands-on skills and experience.
By the way, there are many Sheldon's in my field and place of employment.
