Housekeeping is just a background skill or something that a character can take to be able to invite important non player characters at home without risking turning as red as a beetroot...
But for some others, this is very strange. Why does a scientist who takes Physics know all topics of this very wide science while an archaeologist will have to learn different skills for History? And why is a man who knows Saber so clumsy when using a cavalry saber (which requires the Broadsword skill)?
This sound strange, very strange, and eventually gives a very huge skill list which is not at all intuitive.
