If you could learn any skill you wanted, what would it be?

Imagine that you magically have the free time and/or financial resources to spend learning and acquiring supplies or attending classes.

i'd like to learn social working skills. *need a degree to get a job in it i think)

Social workers typically do the following:

Identify people and communities in need of help
Assess clients’ needs, situations, strengths, and support networks to determine their goals
Help clients adjust to changes and challenges in their lives, such as illness, divorce, or unemployment
Research, refer, and advocate for community resources, such as food stamps, childcare, and healthcare to assist and improve a client’s well-being
Respond to crisis situations such as child abuse and mental health emergencies
Follow up with clients to ensure that their situations have improved
Maintain case files and records
Develop and evaluate programs and services to ensure that basic client needs are met
Provide psychotherapy services

I'd add helping homeless people find suitable housing.

General handyman stuff, with emphasis on wood working, drywall repair, plumbing and electrical.

@xixgun when it comes to actually working on a house, yes. Building your own homelike shed with a power outlet and overhead light could be a thing. Nobody cares what sheds look like. And you could tweak on it after, bit by bit if you can afford supplies.

@ViciDraco They have kits for those! After I hit the lottery and win a Gazillion dollars, I'm going to buy 100 acres of land, put a tiny house in the center, and a massive fallout shelter underneath it.

@xixgun but you can also do crazy things like trying to hang drywall in your shed. After you've learned weatherproofing at least 😆

@SW-User definitely time intensive to learn, and the up front cost of instruments definitely keep people at bay

@sighmeupforthat 😆😆
ViciDraco · 41-45, M
@sighmeupforthat I'm not sure if that qualifies as a skill. It's not really learned. Either you do or you do not.
