This is why you guys aren't going to rich in the modern Kickstarter/Indigogo world.
You have technical knowledge and ethics.
I think that is a result of a poor career choice. Most careers you can do things completely wrong, and things aren't obviously broken. Collect your pay, rinse, repeat. Marketing for instance. Or teaching. I've met adults in those fields that couldn't tell you what temperature ice formed at, or the boiling point of water. Closer to their own work, they can do something completely wrong and never get the feedback of a circuit not working, a resistor turning to smoke or a program that immediately crashes.
