The results are hardly surprising. A lot of "DIY"ness was learned by junior watching Dad do a DIY fix and learning from the experience. But, a lot of DIY by Dad was done for a "can't afford to pay the professional" reason for a large portion of history. Esp. for the minor stuff (unclog toilet -> $10 reusable plunger vs. $100+ fee just to get plumber to drive out and also utilize the same $10 reusable plunger on the clogged toilet one time). But the millennial generation was the first where the prior generation was starting to become wealthy enough to let someone else handle these jobs vs. DIY and save money. And without the example of watching Dad DIY, junior never learned to do any of it himself or herself. And when one never learned how to do even the most minor DIY tasks, of course one ends up paying the professionals to do the same tasks instead.
