Well, I used to live in New York City and make $50/hr. Now I live in a
small town in Michigan and make $10/hr part time. For me, the
Time=Money equation has shifted dramatically. (I'm really appreciating
the extra time, BTW.)
However, even in the city I preferred to do my own soldering; I felt
like I was learning something, and now I'm pretty comfortable doing
most kinds of maintenance in my studio, as well as having a few Oakley
modules and other third party kits in my rack.
