If you could do it all over again, would you have gone to a trade school? (lemmy.world)

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.

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
