Which Has More Value?

While I paid hundreds of dollars to read the books of dead sociologists, The Geek stays home and learns how to tile-for free.

I'm not sure what I'll get out of my deal, but with The Geek's new skills, once the grout is here and applied, we can hook up the radiator and turn on the boiler so we have heat when we need it.

I'm feeling a little ripped off.
