Hi,
it does help me a lot.
I'm a Snr.Network Engineer, so am well versed with computer hardware, software, as well as electronics as that was my other hobby.
all in all, it helps with sorting out astronomy software issues, program microcontrollers, evaluate various astronomy software, troubleshoot problems and so on as my interest is in astrophotography.
my interest in electronics helps immensely in assembling/designing/building motor controllers, dew heaters, optical encoders, wireless scope control and so on. and of course, the ability to print stuff at work doesn't hurt.
