Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?

here's a handy way to prove you're actually a maker and not just a nerd hobbyist:

1) make something useful (the useful part is essential)

2) make more

3) continue to make them

4) train others to make them

5) continue to make them alongside those you've trained

6) learn to make something that someone else has devised

7) continue to make them

then, and only then, can you be considered a maker

most "makers" fail at the first step and none make it past the third
