I know, pointed I say it was worthless. What I said, which is true, is that almost everybody can shovel the driveway. It takes no time at all to learn it, that’s what low skill means. It doesn’t mean the person is not worth anything, or that it’s worthless. It just means that in the market, when literally anyone can do it, it is a low skill drive.

Pouring a driveway with concrete takes much more skilled and shovelling the driveway. Yet the overwhelming majority of people can probably learn how to do it in a reasonably short time with a bit of experience. You can probably get decent at it in the range of 6 to 12 months.

But there are other jobs that take many years to be good at, or require extensive training or education to be even reasonably competent. Far fewer people can do those jobs, because of the increased mental difficulty.

these are all just obvious things in life that we all understand, and that’s why it costs a lot more to get a quote from an engineer to make a safe building, then it does to get a driveway shoveled. None of this is shocking, or even interesting, it’s just obvious facts about life.
