Why, are you recruiting?

I'm a full time student at The University of Life. Don't ask me about experience, I wouldn't know where to start... or end. I don't like to come across as boastful, and I'm unconvinced that "qualifications" amount to much more than what you managed to hold in (possibly short-term) memory for the few days before, during and after said test. I hold City & Guild in electronics servicing and repair (UK) but I don't remember the last time anyone cared to hear that, nor needed it to hire me. I find knowing what you're on about, comes across and is more instinctively picked up upon that "look what these certs say I can do." What I mean, is that qualifications are only as important as the value placed upon them by the people you think will seek to employ you, or a way you are able to demonstrate a "agreed level of competence and expertise" in said area(s).
There's no shortage of "educated idiots" out there, falling over themselves to boast about their degrees,etc; that's fine, let them, we can all sense when the horse sh## flows freely!

We all have different experience and giftings, and I am not sure there is a "one size fits all" way of converting that to a standard, universal metric. I love seeing other people showing their CLEARLY GOD-given talents, things that come instinctively to them as part of their DNA, things I would never know where to start on! We all have weak points and HUGE strengths - I am good with "muscle memory" as regards computers and problem-solving them - many of my friends have referred to me (in huge error!) as "a genius, I could never do that!" (because they'd probably never attempt to try!) but whilst I appreciate their kindness and compliments, I know it not to be true - I am X person with X talents, and a lot of the time (with computers) my "genius" they think I have, amounts to my having Google'd/YouTube'd for a few hours, thoroughly. There are endless parts of Linux command line which I know off pat, and many others I have to refresh my mind on, regularly.
I find I get a warm, fuzzy and natural, instinctive feeling from electronics and physics - mainly because these things are based upon physical laws, and are therefore exceptionally clear to my mind, and beautiful. Whilst software is incredible, and exciting to learn, I don't get the same "feeling" deep in my soul for having learnt it. Software is based around arbitrary decisons made by man, whereas electronics is physics, and a wave is a wave is a wave, and it don't change none too muchly!
I've talked enough - I am good at what I do, and I take on most technical challenges, but one thing I always remember and like to say, is this:
Which of us have what we weren't given?
