Came here to say. Learn to cook, learn to sew, learn basic plumbing and carpentry.
Sewing is good but basic plumbing and carpentry can wait until the OP is is a position to buy a home. Learning how to make your landlord do necessary repairs without getting evicted (and being aware that this may be impossible) is a more important skill for a tenant.
And learn what basic plumbing really is. The second you question whether you should be trying something you should probably stop and ring a pro.
Also to add, don't attempt any electrical stuff beyond rewiring a plug. A mistake with plumbing would cost you a fair bit of money, a mistake with electricity costs your life.
