I have the view like this:

I do computers/networking for a living.  I fix people's
computers and networks.

Other people have dedicated their careers to things like
car maintenance and plumbing, electrical work, etc.

I make enough at MY career to pay someone who *knows*
what they're doing, to fix things that I dont want to
risk fucking up.

Sure, if something is small, I'll do it myself, but
things like completely rebuilding the valves on a shower
and tub faucet set, I leave to those who know their stuff.
