...it will make you a better engineer
I never though my knowledge of gelling, cloud points, and transfat would ever apply to my job, but it is and this knowledge is saving our butts and the butts of the company who buys our machines and puts their name on them.
The most dangerous engineer has no personal toys or hobbies, the customers pay for the toys and have to live with them.
I think you're right. It has been my experience as well that those who go home and watch TV after work instead of blowing things up in their shop are not as interesting nor do they have as much to offer. But of course, right now, it isn't whether or not I'm a good engineer that matters, its whether I have a catchy resume, how well I can charm them in an interview, and whether or not I know anyone on the inside. Of course, most important of all, there has to be a job available to begin with.
Ya know....if I had a bit of start up capital, I would bet the MAP isn't wildly difficult to manufacture. I could sell it for 1/2 price or less......
