   I dislike soldering. i used to hate it. Then i did it as part of my job as production and sustainment engineer for a medical device company.

   I learned that i hated my original soldering setup.
   With the right tools, i merely dislike soldering.

   Setting up everything to repair one wire that got pulled off while swapping the PCB inside my favorite controller makes me feel like a hands on engineer again, even if it's not quite the Mechanical Engineering i actually do.
