I don't think knowing how to throw a few 7400s together qualifies you as 
a logic designer. Hell, there are kids out there who have spent years 
playing with FPGAs and doing real qualifications and stuff who have 
produced things actually worth having. Why hire me when you can hire one 
of those kids?

My knowledge of logic design is insufficient for me to work as a logic 
designer. My knowledge of computer programming is insufficient to work 
as a programmer. (Everybody wants C. Nobody wants Haskell - and even 
those that do also want you to write device drivers - in C.) My 
knowledge of mathematics is insufficient to work as a mathematician. My 
knowledge and more importantly skill level in music is vastly 
insufficient for me to work as a musician. I could go on... but 
basically it seems that all that's left for me is to sit and rot fixing 
people's wetware issues - and I can't even seem to find anybody to hire 
me for that.
