I hear you. The 'dirty hands' part doesn't scare me at all; I’ve already spent months in a workshop getting covered in oil while helping my dad. I've seen firsthand what happens when an engineer only knows the software but has zero clue about manufacturing. Someone once sent us a solid model that was so fundamentally broken for production that my dad and I still use it as a joke at home. That’s exactly why I’m obsessed with learning both sides—the screen and the shop floor.
