I'm a good historian. I can find the threads and patterns and follow them in order to answer historical questions. I am also a good academic writer. (I often submit first draft essays and have them returned with marks of 'high 1st class'. On the rare occassion I have had time to polish a piece it has come back with a mark of 'borderline excellent' or 'excellent'.) Both of these things require skills honed throughout my adult life.
I'm a good teacher. That involved a certain amount of learning, but in truth I was a natural at it when I started tutoring adult literacy. No idea how I'd be teaching younglings, but teaching adults I found very satisfying. I think that was the first time I discovered I was really quite good at something useful.
[eta] forgot to mention, I was a kickass PvPer in UO ! (Fencer)
