As you get older, you will. Eyes, steadiness of hand, eye-hand 
coordination, all can make working with SMT a challenge. Mine will be 76 
years old in a few months. Several years ago, I learned just enough to 
do relatively simple SMT work with fairly large SMT components in a band 
pass filter kit. I couldn't even SEE the smaller SMT components in that 
kit, and called in reinforcements.
