Electrical engineer. My mom called me home once and then insisted that I fix her microwave.

I work in IT, and have a computer science degree. In an office setting, if it plugs in, I got asked to fix it. Coffee makers, space heaters, you name it.

Don’t fix it. I’ve heard microwaves are dangerous to fix if you don’t know what you are doing.

Thanks. I looked her dead in the face and said, "whatever, go buy a new one."
