Hmmm.
Plumbers, electricians, and cabinet makers "work" because their
customers don't have the time to first learn the skill and then fix the
problem. Your toilet isn't flushing and you have to be at work for a
meeting: who ya gonna call?
These skilled professions not only know all the details, they're also
*supposed* to know the local building codes, etc. Laws require them to
take responsibility for working to code. Same goes for insurance, etc.
for working in a commercial situation, and for union issues.
Plenty of people I know in the Silicon Valley do their own plumbing and
electrical work (especially the latter).
Cabinet making takes time and *tools*. Same with modern
auto/motorcycle/bicycle repair.
