As I've become older and now own a house, I've really become a lot more interested in most trade work, such as electrician, plumber, construction, mechanic. I love getting my hands dirty and fixing/creating something physical... sure beats sitting in a chair.
Buying a house definitely inspired me to become more handy largely because most of the work is straight forward and it can be cheaper to do some repairs yourself. The caveat here is some can be more expensive cause you do the work twice or three times or hire a pro after you mess up. But that is what we call learning.
