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?"
