It is a lot easier to hire someone to take care of housekeeping duties or to do them yourself than it is to make up for 10+ years of little to zero non-homemaking skill development.
Not as easy as you'd expect if you want someone actually competent and versatile.
You would be surprised how big a bag "homemaking" is, ranging from cooking, through teaching, down to clerical work, through basic finances and back up with handyman (yes yes) fixes. Any of those skills specialized in is marketable, though not respectable on its own.
Note how few of them are true knowledge and research work.
All of them are in the areas where there have been major reductions in number of jobs due to automation and centralization.
