I've mentored kids as well. One is in her late 20's, does artwork and raises oysters. The second one just graduated from SCAD. The youngest of them just finished his junior year in college, and is on the board of his Charter School. Personally, I went from engineering college to making jewelry, working as a designer and model making, and picked up CAD/CAM 10 years ago. Designing one off items for people is challenging, building those items, sourcing the materials, subcontracting specialty work, all require time and thought.

As long as you can roll it up and swat flies with it, I'll consider getting one.
Go back in time to 1960 and sell them for several hundred million each.
Go back even further and plant them in Roswell, NM.
