All my smarts has total practical application. My accounting knowledge would be worthless without my practical experience using it.

My computer smarts would be worthless if I couldn't figure out new technologies & how to accomplish what I need on new devices.

I have a natural ability fixing things which helped with my career & dealing with computer hardware. I live on my farm & things are constsntly breaking around here. Being creative in how to fix things since I don't have the muscle like men do is critical to getting repairs done in a timely manor.....& you bettcha.....YouTube Is my best friend. I found out how to replace my own EGR valve on my truck. I found our that if you use tie down ratchets you can move the spring on the lawn tractor deck so the belt can be replaced without taking it all apart. They have some very helpful ideas that one just has to figure out exactly how to implement.

My brain has always liked to figure out how to do things so my career just fit into my abilities well....& all the things I am involved in now in retirement still fit in.

Knowledge is useless if there is no practical application.....exactly why I am bad at trivia.
