[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Part of this is an age thing:  Baby Boomers had Depression era parents.  Those people did things for themselves, because that's what they could afford.  Some of these skills, like being able to work on cars, are already obsolete.  Modern cars have computers in them, and when something goes wrong, they require expensive proprietary diagnostic equipment at the dealership.  The days of the guy working on his car in his garage are over.

There are only so many hours in a day.  Doctors in the midwest don't have to work as hard:  there is less competition, they don't have to commute, and their COL is way lower.  Maybe they can afford to take ten hours to do an amateurish job on their house.  Most of the guys I know who tried to do their own home repairs (including guys from the midwest) ended up calling in professionals to clean up after them.  They didn't know as much as they thought.[/quote]

Yeah the youtube videos can only do so much for a banker or consultant...

The NASA DC guys are pretty handy... and still play on their hockey and water polo leagues.

Get some hobbies guys! Real hobbies![/quote]
