Have you ever met someone who is not good at academics but is good at other aspects? What makes them that way?

So, in your lives, do you encounter such folks, and what are their skills? How are they doing as of now?
You're viewing a single thread.
I have family deep in Appalachia where education isn't much of a priority there, most drop out to help farming, coal mining and helping the family whatever way they can.
One man I knew who dropped out at an early age was probably the best mechanic I've ever seen. He could fix just about anything, cars, appliances, you name it.
One instance I recall was that there was a boy with either downs or on the autism spectrum. Back then there was no distinction but I digress. This boy had an old, beat up and very cheap 8 track player that he absolutely loved and couldn't ever part with it. The mechanic was able to keep it working for years and years.
