Y'know, that's one of the first questions I ask and if an intern doesn't know how to solder, I bring out the Weller. In early years, I used to build all the cables for my band and studio because I used better materials. They still work today. Knowing how to repair a cable and how to troubleshoot a grounding problem with alligator clips is something they ought to teach at any school. Eventually, even in a fully digital environment, you get to analog, and that means wire plus solder, even if it's only at the voice coil.
