Same thing they asked me when I went to work for IBM in 1966. All the whiz kids were trained on computers, but they hired about ten new guys to fix the card machines that provided all the input in those days. Those things had really exotic components like geneva drives and such. I was hired because I was building my own racing cars (MGs and Minis) and finishing races.
