I used to work with a developer whose second job was with HP back in the 70s. He was hired as a technician building lab equipment and had to be prequalified from an educational and trades/skill perspective to be hired.

Then they taught him to solder again. Their standards were apparently incredibly high.



This reminds me of my drafting classes (back when paper was used). I was re-taught how to make letters. One would think that it would not be necessary but for their standards, it was.
