I've done electronics and software for some years, more of us are out there (I even know hobbyists with the approriate knowledge and talents). If you consider your usual payment per hour as consultant, it is a complete waste of time to repair some cheap devices but it keeps your electronical knowledge fit and your hands in training. A perfect "work" to relax.
