What is the last rigorous subject/skill/trade you decided to motivate yourself to learn?
What did you gain from it?

So if you had or have children, you would just give them the standard goycurriculum and call it a day?

I started because I needed welding caps. I also did vanlife meme and needed window curtains and other custom fabric items.
I can hem, repair my own cloths and make stuff for my van and friends. Custom duffel bags for special items is nice and keeps them safe too

No, I would get them accustomed to the reality that they will have to sell their bodies as lab rats for AI, no 20 years from now. I would take them out of school as early as possible, and get them into the game of asset composition, good old quid pro quo. You can still make some money for a few years by using the scraps that AI opens up to the cattle, but the will of the rich is pretty clear, so it's better to not get the kids' hopes up that they will have a full life.

i got 4 microsoft certifications and doubled my salary

Plenty of people are opting out and going off grid you know. Which naturally requires a fair number of skills but will at least allow you to keep some autonomy.

Is it cheaper to make your own clothes than to buy new ones? I figure it could work if you had a very limited wardrobe. Like back in the olden days.

Not for long. The wielders of AI probably lobby day and night to make land unobtanium. Property taxes will become severe, they must, the nature of greed dictates this. And what will you do when they release GMO bacteria everywhere to enforce their own resistant crops and gene therapies to survive the increasingly hostile biosphere? This is no 20 years from now. And if I were Karp or Altman, I'd mostly lobby against off grid living, simply to squash any hopes of escape early on. People need to be terrified to stay subservient.

With all due respect anon that was seven years ago. While impressive, surely you then rechallenged yourself and didn't just sit on your laurels?
>>
>>62189129
They don't need to make any GMO bacteria, they evolve naturally, especially on farms and in 3rd world countries and also hospitals where all the boomers refusing to die are kept alive on antibiotics. Hospitals are like the pillars of creation for multi-drug resistant bacteria.

Wife and I have a Brother NQ1700 embroidery machine, that we've been tinkering with. We're pretty excited to see what we can do, and how much personalized shit we can have.
Unsure of how money can be made from it, but we're also looking at the newest Cricut machine.

I essentially retired early so I don't need to do anything. Nonetheless I've been learning Spanish for about an hour daily for the past 10 months and I'm currently at B1 level. Maybe I'll put my skills to the test later this year if I decide to visit Spain.

Small engine repair
I can buy used shift for dirt cheap, spend a few more bucks and a weekend or two getting it up and running, and I have a great machine for next to nothing other than some sweat.
Diy car repairs
Lights, fluids, air filters. Alternator starter and Brakes are very easy once you get the right tools. It's a bit of an investment over time but can save you tons of money long term and can help keep an old car going much longer than you would if you had to form over $800 for a brake change or $100 for an oil change.

not really, depending on what your wearing. cheaper to buy jeans and T shirts. cool print dress shirts might be doable, not easy though. cheaper then designer if it looks good

Duolingo gets a bad rap from some nerds but it's been amazing. I supplement by occasionally reading reddit/news and watching intermediate-level videos on Youtube.

Same but electric bicycles. Electric motors are even easier to repair yet lots of people junk a bike if the motor stops working. Still haven't mastered battery repair though. Mostly because it's so dangerous.

cute world view of a 14 year old, you are probably a very isolated person - working from home and never seeing or talking to anybody I guess.

Just stop fantasizing and get back to your ticket, you only have an hour to close it.

I got a degree in marine engineering. In exchange I got 10 years of failed relationships and 2 bad knees. Money is ok at least.
