Yeah but one doesn't have to do with the other. I knew a guy in college who was an EE major, and I asked him what should I do, the plug on my iron broke off. He told me nothing you can do, get a new iron. The other roommate laughed and said go to the supermarket and buy a new plug (you cut the cord, and then the new plug has screws and you screw it on). When you are 19, or 22, there's a lot you don't know. Did you know how to change an electrical panel when you were 19? I didn't. But I do today.
