Actually, I'd say you were on crack. What's a soldering iron going to teach you that a breadboard couldn't? And how often will work at that level help the average coder? It hasn't in either of the two software development jobs I've had so far. More useful have been the symbolic logic classes (equivalent in many ways to digital circuit design). The basics are a good thing, but I believe you're taking it a wee bit too far.
