    I’m a licensed electrician. I do construction for my job.

    If I didn’t need to work to support myself and my family, I’d offer my services as a licensed electrician to my community at-cost. I’d charge for materials, but not my own labor. Basically, just use the skills I have to support others in my community who could benefit from those skills.

    But I also wouldn’t work anything close to 40 hours/week.

      Same here but fixing bikes, mowers, cars etc. I do a little when I can now, but finding the time isn’t trivial.

        Preach it! I work 40+ hours plus have a 3yo and 5yo. There’s no such thing as free time except when I’m supposed to be sleeping.
