help-circle


















  • Am self-employed electrician, I see the same thing. Everyone’s so covered up that they don’t want/need the little old lady jobs - they don’t pay well, typically. I can waste a whole afternoon for them fixing ceiling fans for a couple hundred bucks, maybe, or I can do a job that’ll make 4x that in the same amount of time.

    I still take those gigs, I got into this to help people, and old folks and first-time homeowners need all the help they can get. But I’m not gonna lie to you, those gigs are the first ones to get rescheduled. I’d call em beer money jobs but I don’t drink lol.

    I’m trying to keep an eye out for any other stuff I can help with, too. I’m not above working outside my trade a little if it means someone’s life improves.
