I’d trade my car repair skill for house repair, and my musical ability for math ability. Both of those are far more useful in life. Maybe also trade my computer ability for welding or woodworking.

    Id probably trade my gaming skills for any sort of artistic skill. At least then I could be good at something that you can make an income from.

      Not negating you, but if you are under any notion that art can sustain a living, especially in the current slop world, I have bad news for you 😬

        Not sustain but at least provide something extra. The sort of thing where a couple of commissions might get you a pizza or some other treat that you couldn’t justify otherwise.

          Grab gimp and start just editing pictures. I’ve made some cool stuff By combining photos tastefully or making album covers etc.

            I did something similar with Inkscape a few years ago. I needed a quick logo for something, but wanted to be able to resize it easily. I knocked up something basic, then played with it when I had some free time. I’m still not particularly good, but I can do the basics :)
