Each to there own I guess. I think it's amazing. And the guy has had a vision and followed his dream. I wouldn't call that a waste at all.

Yeah nice day job eh!! I guess it's like anything though I make stuff for some very exciting science projects all day everyday. But in my workshop making stuff for my car I am much happier.
