Yes, but most of us "dummies" weren't working at HP with an actual job being an idiot while people who are in need are sitting around waiting for a job because nothing is in need of employees.
I am not sure if you are aware of this, so i tell you just to be on the safe side. Knowledge is not the only thing companies are searching for when employing people. The other important part is social competence (I know it sounds like a marketing word but it just brings it down to the point). You see, beeing able to help people knowing nothing or help them even if you think they should know allready, in other words - helping people that steal your last nerves, would make you a person with some social competence. Being able to do so and motivating the person to go on with his learning process would mean you have even more social competence. Doing so and not telling other people what a bastard that person is you just helped nicely, would mean you are really social competent. I just wanted to note that. I admit it's idealistic but i cant keep it behind since you are wining some people doesnt find a job. Greetings from Germany, Grand Apeiron
