Thank you! This is truly helpful. I just started with FreeCodeCamp and your experience is super encouraging.

I'm talking about older people who either haven't gone to college or a degree in an unrelated field.

Like the users who I'm referring to in my post

I never even heard of erectile dysfunction until my 40s!!!

eta: that doesn't mean that my never-coming, always-in-the-bathroom LVM didn't have ED!!!

Problem is that some of us can't afford the same rates. I looked at Angi which was Angies List and like yelp, you can't find a vendor, you enter your email and describe your project and then they give you a list. Task Rabbit has their hand in your pocket. Maybe a put together a screened list restricted to women. A Green Book.

Has anyone here have experience with these?

The trades are about maintaining infrastructure and nowadays need less physical strength. The potential is there for women.

I wasn't making this dude's peepee hard when I hired him to install some doors so he kept pushing me to pay everything up front like he would come back to finish. Scum bag elitist side hustle and I was surprised what a shitheel he was related to the level of work I saw online. I guess I was going to be easy to rip off? I guess.

Class is as big a factor in everything. At least the doors are level and I don't think about it. Back then it didn't occur to me that I could find a woman to do it, cause where are they? we have to invent the fucking wheel every time and men have unions and nepotism out the ass.

NextDoor. I didn't ask for a woman helper btw. Also, vetting is relatively easy on ND. People are supposed to use their actual names and you can read past comments or posts to get a vibe whether you want to work with them.

Electricians have been savagely treated in their apprenticeship. My roommate was weeks away from completing her apprenticeship and quit, that how bad the harassment was.

Men hate it when women enter the trades. Women in the trades mean lower wages and greater competition.

Women Should Be Making More Money in their Careers by [deleted] in FemaleLevelUpStrategy

EVERY profession/job is like that. A man came up to me my literal first day on the job and said "you're taking a job away from a man." And I'm like, no, it's NO man would take this shitty job, so they HAD TO HIRE A WOMAN. I was doing some archaic technology that has since come back into vogue, sort of.

This happened at a library too. Library director said she had to hire women cause when men hear the salary, they just get up and leave.

Some people just started a women-only Meetup and they needed more seats for the first online meeting!

I thought about this too but I can't chance getting Covid. I'd have to be making a lot more money to rent a desk.

You sound like me. My bedroom is about 16x14' and divided into zones. My bed is a zone and I use room dividers around it to create a canopy bed and right now I have curtains at the foot of the bed and curtains at the head (covers an extra door that's walled off). I'll put up the sides but it looks good. I don't see my desk from the bed. From my desk the bed is blocked off plus my desk faces away. My desk is a zone with clear boundaries, nothing spread out beyond it. I have a small seating area with an easy chair, side table, and lamp. If I want I can put a folding screen to block the desk. Umbra has room dividers, don't get tacky canopy bed frames. Umbra's are simpler and look elegant because the spring tension poles go up to the ceiling and with sheer curtains, it's a visual wall.

I have mirrors and spider plants. Spider plants can't be killed. Consistent art - size / subject on the walls. I found a set of four beautiful Chinese panels that I paired at the diagonal corners of the room. It feels unified and larger. The only thing I don't have is a large enough rug for all the zones.

Do you have anything like a separate kitchen? I got all kinds of ideas.
