I may be more important in this day and age to learn how to
deal with 3rd parties than to learn how to do things yourself.
At least, all too often the "do it yourself" proficiency doesn't
include documenting how you'd want someone else to do it.

Of course, off in the other thread I was about to mention that
I though engineering jobs (and engineers) had become too specialized.
We used to hire software engineers; now we want experts in
implementing VoIP/SIP in Java under VxWorks on MIPs 7k...  Not
only does that make the job market generally nastier, but I think
the GENERALITY of engineering was part of what made it intellectually
attractive...
