Looking forward to seeing some interesting jobs I haven’t really thought about. Bonus points if it’s an IT job.

    Trades. Become an electrician or a plumber or any number of other skilled contractor position. Financially you’ll be set for life.

      Helped change a water heater at my parents place. Got quoted 1k in labor. Took us a little less than 2 hrs of actual work to do it. Had to buy new flexible connectors and Teflon tape. Possible fire or water damage is no joke so i understand the hesitation to DIY, but the work is pretty straight forward.

      Trades are absolutely a viable option. There will always be a need.

        The difference between what you did and what a licensed plumber will do is liability insurance. If you somehow accidentally broke a pipe or something, home owner insurance might decide you’re the one to foot the bill for repairs, flood damage included.

        It is totally worth it. That being said, I did the same thing a month ago.
