I enjoyed college and was fortunate enough to enjoy a good white collar career. But if I could do it all over again, I would have learned how to become a licensed electrician, plumber, etc.

    Good answer. For me I try to do stuff around the house and I usually make it worse costing me more money in the end when a professional comes to fix it.

      I treat it like any other technology issue and google the “right” way to do things, not just what some streamer does. I think it’s generally resulted in good quality work, but at a massive cost in time.

      Actually, now that I’m finally getting a little ahead financially, I find myself unwilling to spend that time. Recently I’m more likely to pay someone to get the job done fast and right, with no hassle on my part. I have no idea how most people can afford that though
