Yes, but Ferfal's point is that there will be A LOT of unskilled, semi-skilled and highly skilled craftsmen offering their services. High competition means the prices for your services go down. At the same time, inflation means the price for everything else goes up. Which means that if you work as a craftsman/handyman you will have a hard time making enough money to sustain a family. You will (probably) work 16 hour days and STILL not make enough money to feed and school your children, maintain your house and so on.


Being able to import and sell supplies (pipes, nails, whatever) to those craftsmen seems like a much better business idea.


If you're able to deliver a service that everyone needs (and will pay for), but no one else is offering, then that is a different story.
