The past 30-40 years has been a cultural push towards go to college so that you don't have to work with your hands.
It's not just about reading the manual it's about thinking that you should even be attempting to fix anything in the first place.
I went from working at an online travel company remotely and renting to buying a trap house for 25K and renovating it with no where near the amount of tools I own now.
I could do that because my parents built the house I grew up in and did house projects over the years. If you know it's possible and have some familiarity you're more willing to do it.
If you grew up and your parents never touched a tool and told you if you didn't go to college you'd end up like the plumber fixing your toilet flap for $150 bucks then you've got a pretty skewed view of the world.
