that's fuckin complicated shit though man and ya gotta be actually smart

If you ever meet an engineering professor. There's plenty of interesting people in that bunch. I wish I could remember all of their jokes and all of the odd things they did. You also don't have to be that smart. I knew many people who used adderall for concentration and focus.

That's all you really need and you have to be somewhat interested in the work you were doing. If you weren't, and you just wanted to make money. Barely scrapping by became the goal.
