This simple task should be well within the qualifications guaranteed by her advanced degree. And so she feels like a fraud.

This person may be just like me . . . I know a lot more than just how to replace an electric switch . . . and still wouldn't bother for the manual work . . . I just pay some guy and he does everything I tell him to do.
And I don't have anything like a Stanford PhD in Engineering or any other degree, for that matter !
I've always followed my instinct !
But it is true that when I was young I did everything myself.
I never ever cared what "others" thought of me, though.
I just went my way !
