This isn’t true. Watch some POV videos of people working fast food jobs. No one is saying that McDonald’s and vascular surgery require the same amount of skill and training, but that’s not the point. We need to recognize that what’s considered menial is quite complex. Look at how long it’s taking to replace people doing basic jobs with machines.
Yes, in a company of a million employees some are extra fast and make a show if it to get Youtube views. Watch people at McDonald's WITHOUT YouTube (scary, I know) and you'll see that it's just some dudes flipping burgers. Like anyone does on a weekend.
Yes, a monkey couldn't do it, but that's not the definition of skilled vs unskilled.
That's a junk ending. You try to replace anything with a machine. It's nontrivial. But then, to come full circle, it's a skilled labor job ;).
