No no no. 25 years or older is too late to learn manual dexterity skills, or worse, to find out you don’t have them. A few years ago, the NYTimes published adjoining videos of an expert, and not-so-expert surgeon working on very similar tasks. The expert, it was almost like watching ballet. I could not finish the video of the non-expert: the cringe factor from the fumbling, the inability to grip tissue, inability to string together surgical moves, it was too much to watch and imagine it happening to you.

Ed: I found the link to the less skilled surgeon video. Could not find the more skilled one.
