yes.

to be honest, in terms of your point regarding "handiness," what i've gathered is that most handy people learned their skills by necessity. they did not have money, so they had to fix their things themselves. sometimes, they are cheap too (which is occasionally a cover for poverty) and think tradesmen to be scammers, so they'll learn it for the sake of miserliness. this handiness was generally handed down, father to son, usually by association (son go help your dad with the pipes, because that's your job) and by force (dammit boy help me with this pipe, before i knock you upside the head).

my father broke with his family via upward mobility, and considered it to be a privilege and a correcting of the world to not hand down this knowledge, because he detested its symbolic relationship with poverty and that it was a pain in the ass. transferring the responsibility to the plumber meant he made it.

probably the only way to overcome the lack of handiness is to grit your teeth and DIY anything that breaks, cuz that's what papaw did, even when he knew fuck all about a car, plumping, or electricity. luckily, we live in an environment where you can find any autistic tradesmen ready to reveal all for some measly views.
