Funny, Joe, my first job after university (BA, anthropology/French) was also in an auto garage (I was the parts guy). I actually learned a lot from that job, but I developed a determined conviction that I didn't want to spend the rest of my life behind a parts counter.
Even though I wrote in an earlier post that I am at times envious of the broad sound engineering education of my students, I wouldn't trade the experience of a decent liberal arts education.
