even if working those jobs is easy upfront, that doesn't mean it's easy to do it 40 hrs a week. and they certainly require skills some people don't have. construction is hard on the body / bad hours (but i feel like it'd be meditative and build strength), restaurants are stressful as hell (but build your ability to work under real tangible pressure), delivery puts you at risk of dying on the road (and makes you a more experienced driver), etc.

What about supervising? All I can tell what they do differently to everyone else is sit at a desk and forget to order stock.

General labor and specialized labor

Is there such a thing as "skilled labor" as an inverse, or is that also a capitalist myth?

[-] flamehenry@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Trades is a good example. Plumbers and electricians are generally paid quite well. Specialist industrial trades, welders, etc. can be paid amazingly well.

Although so can grass cutters, pool boys and painters and they seem pretty unskilled to me.

Technically i am an "unskilled worker" because i did not finish university. Didn't stop me from being the guy who develops the network chips in the company.

None of the icons in this meme are classed as "unskilled labour".

A farmer? a bricklayer? are you fucking joking?

Do you have any idea how much a bricky gets paid. Probably more than you.

Another classic case of arrogant internet socialists with zero real world experience letting the mask slip.
