      I do want to learn plumbing, it would be a rather handy way to save some money for minor jobs down the line

        It’s also a handy way to make some money. The plumbers around here charge by the visit, which ends up being around $600 per hour!

        Oh of course, those skills are invaluable. The joke is everyone hears you’re in an industry remotely adjacent and then goes “Oh so you can do xyz for me?”

    The most complicated job I’ve ever had would make people’s eyes glaze over when I was explaining what I did, even my wife’s. So I started saying “website stuff”, and everyone would go “oh, super cool!” and then we’d change the subject.
