    I keep writing on this thread, and forgetting one of the most
    important aspects of working with other people, and especially an
    apprentiship or job, and that is that people don't challenge
    themselves, they take the easy way out almost always. That's not
    exactly true, because I know I went out and learned all sorts of
    things by myself. Where it is true is when you are sitting at the
    bench and the foreman comes over and says, "Do this. I don't care if
    you've never done it before, and I don't care if it's not your
    'preferred' work, just do it." That's how you learn beyond what you
    would learn flying solo, both in design and technique. Making up your
    own designs can be very fulfilling - being able to make anything
    including stuff you never would have thought of yourself is even more
    so.
