      Well, there’s Amazon packing, where they recently sent me three cards in an A3 by 4" box. Ain’t no way you could call that “skilled”.

      Everytime unskilled work is mentioned, someone feels the need to comment that ackchually all work requires skill.

      Unskilled work means you don’t need prior experience or specific education to apply. You will be trained on the job.

        Unskilled work means you don’t need prior experience or specific education to apply.

        It means whatever the employers want it to mean. But anyone who has worked anywhere for a significant length of time knows the value experience brings in a role.

        Whether you’re packing boxes or picking fruit or doing brain surgery, the speed and accuracy of your work is predicated on experience. Not something you get through a crash course or a certificate. You have to do the work to learn the work in every field.

        That’s what makes “unskilled” labor a myth.

        So installing HVAC systems is unskilled work? I didn’t have any prior experience or education when I got a job doing that.

          And you were able to work on your own with less than a weeks worth of OJT?

        And framing labor this way totally disregars the time commitment. Which should be a thriving wage for any hob that requires 40hrs/week

          I think the spelling in this reply actually tells the story

            Disappointed in your lack of punctuation. It really speaks to your absence of moral character.

        I have been in an argument with a landlord before. They were arguing that it was a real job because of all the paperwork. I was just like… bruh

          Paperwork is only a job if you’re a lawyer or an accountant.
