No, it’s not. When people use the term “unskilled” for jobs it doesn’t mean “you literally have to have zero skills, not even the ability to user your hands, to do it” - it means you only need a limited skill set and is a job that has minimal economic value. Essentially it’s a job that anyone at any stage could walk into and be able to do with minimal training.
That has always been how the skilled/unskilled labor gap has been broken up.
You’ve bought the lie they’ve been telling forever. Every person that goes to work is performing skilled labor. The only thing we do that doesn’t take any skill is being born rich.
Rich assholes that do nothing other than “invest” into a buisness. Every dime made from there is off the backs of working folks. Without our skills the wealthy would be poor.

I haven’t bought any lie, I’m telling you the definitions of skilled/unskilled labor that have been in use forever.
Ok so your idea of skill is simply…not dropping dead. Gotcha.
No matter what you want to think, serving tables is one of the easiest and least-skilled jobs in the world. It’s why literal kids do it, it’s why it’s paid less than minimum wage, and it’s why it’s a last resort for many of the people who do it.
Let me ask you this -do you think that investing is a skill? Choosing what to invest in and when and how much?

I guarantee this person has never waited tables.

I have my doubts on if they’ve ever worked a job.

So do you think it’s not a job that anyone can learn with an hour or 2 training? You think it’s a specialized skill?
