It's pretty much been proven to me that what you were trained in means little when it comes to Modding any Game.
So 'such and such' is a Theoretical Quantum Physicist with advanced degrees, or has a BA in Business Administration.
Maybe he's just a common HS grad.
He may still in HS!!
Most Modders are Hobby Modders.
It's what we do to get away from REAL Life.
For me?
Modding involves my mind as I crawl under a House with 8 inches of space.
At times I must blow all the air out of my lungs to get to where I need to go the space is so tight!
I've seen people panic in such situations and become trapped or worse.
As I crawl areas like this?
I'm thinking of what I need to do with my Modding Hobby.
Maybe SH Modding is why I get paid the big bucks to go places where no one else will go?
