How long did it take for you to "make it" with logic board repair?

How long did it take for you to start to get a hang of micro soldering? What did you destroy in the process of getting there?

More than I can count. What matters is that you learned from it and didn't fuck up a bunch of shit that belongs to customers.

Duke came out of his mama with a paint stripper and multimeter, ready to go :p

Like boards I fucked up beyond repair with BGA? I'd say less than 20 in the early years, but that was 10 years ago when things were much easier, no lead free crap. 0.6mm balls were the smallest you'd find back then.
Starting off right now I'd imagine much more failure because of lead free and 0.25mm balls on the MUX and such shit.
This is the reason why you don't learn on $1500 retina MacBooks. You learn on a shitty $25 HP and move up.
