For what it's worth...

Years ago, before I had attempted any major plumbing, I was replacing
a shower stall in a basement bathroom and had to move the drain. I
opened up the floor to expose the pipes and then asked some friends
who they liked as a plumber. I got a name and offered him $25 to stop
by on his way home some night just to tell how to route the new PVC
and connect it to the existing cast iron. He told me everything I
needed to know in about 15 minutes and only took $20. It was well
worth the money - one of the few plumbing jobs where it took just one
trip to the store to get what I needed!

Another time I paid an electrician $40 to explain some very confusing
wiring to me. He opened up a switch box that contained three 3-way
switches, poked around inside and said "What the f__k?!?". I knew
right then it was money well spent!
