    When I worked at Walmart, we looked down HEAVILY on the job. It wasn’t because we were called “low skill workers” it was because Walmart treated us like shit and everyone knew it. They allowed customers to walk all over us and you felt like you were a few steps removed from a servant.
    If you work for a good company that treats you right, you’ll be proud of the job.

      In the same boat. I’ve been in warehouse jobs for about 4 years now and I dread working in them forever. I’m currently in school for comp sci and you’ll be fine as long as internally motivate yourself. At the end of the day, if you don’t get a high skill job, you will be stuck doing a low skill one. I hate working, but I absolutely cannot continue to do low skill labor. Best of luck to you.

    I say this as a low-skilled worker who hates his job. My shop can instantly replace me as long as there's people applying. And people are always applying. There's no reason somebody can't be hired and be ready to do every shift after being at work for a couple of hours.
    That doesn't mean it's not difficult, but you could get children to do the job. The difficulty is from the job being shit and has a lower wage. The reason people don't is because nobody really wants to work in a shop.
    It's nice seeing employers struggle to hire for low or unskilled jobs because they might finally improve working conditions.

      @@augustb.w.4778 Yeah, I think the biggest problem here is the guy he's talking to wants to say burger flipping for McD's is not low skilled labor, when it's some of the lowest skilled labor available.
      There's also a distinction between being competent at something and being the best at something. The best in any field are likely going to be high skill individuals, even for tasks that are low skill on average, and they'll often be compensated socially and financially for said skill.
      A guy who makes cheeseburgers at a Michelin Star restaurant is absolutely not looked down on the way a guy who makes cheeseburgers at a McDonalds is. One is high skill, the other is low skill. One has a guy hand grinding the meat in precise ratios, hand baking the buns, sourcing the cheese from specific farms, and grilling the burger to a perfect medium temperature while still getting a nice crispy crust. The other has a guy taking a frozen patty and trying not to burn it on the griddle, then squirting some pre-made sauce from an auto-portioning squirt gun.
      The skill difference here is massive.

Destiny is correct that one of the main reasons theirs a labor shortage is because people want to be paid more. However there are other reasons especially now with COVID-19, such as dealing with irate and angry customers who refuses to wear their masks because of store policy. You can pay these people $15 an hour, but if i have to walk in everyday and argue with power tripping customers about masks because of store policy, I’ll go insane

      Yeah, I don't think they're specifically talking about the idea that it's "shameful" to be a low-skill worker, which can be true in some cultures. I believe the topic of conversation is opposition to the idea that low-skilled workers should be paid much less than high skilled workers.
      Now, simple economics would tell you that there is a reason for that disparity. That's why I don't personally believe it's a "myth" created by businesses to pay janitors less. It's just the way the market works - supply and demand.
      However, I do personally believe that inequality in general is something that we need to try and bring down as much as we can. Either by better education or economic reforms.

      Agreed. The hardest part of coding isn’t understanding syntax but understanding semantics. I feel plenty of people could be taught the relative structure of a language. But what’s harder for them to understand is the algorithms and logic behind designing a program. Not to mention concepts such as discrete mathematics, object oriented programming, and several other in depth concepts of coding. anyone who thinks we could just up and teach people who struggled to make it through high school algebra to code is being unrealistic.

    I like destiny and agree with a lot of what he says but I really understand what the other guy is saying too. I made more as a waitress than I do now, but everyone would consider my current job more “respectable” because I have the title of “leasing agent” and dress business casual to work every day. Even tho in reality I’m only making $10 an hour plus commission to sit behind a desk and take calls and convince college students to sign leases at the shitty apartment community I live at. They both require a similar level of skill (though waitressing I would say still higher as it’s a much faster pace situation), but certain jobs just come with better societal perceptions. I don’t think we should call them something else tho. That’s stupid, it won’t change anything. It’s an inherent bias we have toward certain jobs in and of themselves, not weather we call them “low skill” or not, both of my jobs are low skill, but looked at very differently.
    Also destiny is way too aggressive in this.

      Yeah. I worked in medical records at a hospital. I worked in an office, surrounded by people wearing suits and ties and sat in front of a computer. Most of the job was maybe 1/8 as difficult as a later job I had in retail, but the first paid more. If I said I had a job in a hospital working in medical records, everyone would nod with respect. Not so with the far harder job. Retail jobs vary unbelievably in terms of difficulty. Market value is often low when difficulty is high. Destiny doesn't address that prejudices and traditions and similar irrational forces play into market value, rather than purely rational evaluations of difficulty. If we forced all executives to wear silly, demeaning costumes at all times, would they be paid as much?

Volunteer fire departments are a bit of a different story and pay can get a little confusing when some people are full time with degrees in fire-science/paramedic certification and others are just guys who want to help keep their community's safe.
    I'm also not 100% on every state, but at least the 4 states I've lived in have all had local county or town run taxes which go to funding the fire departments (both volunteer and professional). Usually it's either a part of your property taxes for your home or car or some combination of both.

    • @nevonitay
      @nevonitay 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      It doesn't matter what words we use to describe it, low-skill jobs tend to pay far less than jobs that require some level of training, just because this jobs are very easy to get and unless there's an exceptional shortage of workers it's relatively easy for businesses to find new workers.
      In the way I personally see it, I believe that despite of that, there's nothing inherently lesser in being a janitor in contrast to being a computer programmer, and in my ideal country, the difference in wages between low-skill and high-skill jobs shouldn't be so high, and inequality in general is something that we need to try and fix.
      However, it's not a "Myth". It is economically sound that low-skilled work would be worth less. That is just common sense, that isn't the issue. The issue is the inequality that comes as a result of that disparity and the way we can try to help close that gap.

    In food service being a cashier, fry cook, grill cook etc is low skill though because the high skill is sous chef, head chef, and managerial as far as restaurants are concerned. Bartender and server jobs are more mid level in restaurants as far as skill. That being said, “low skill” is more economic language in the sense that when you’re hired at the fast food place they aren’t going to use that language. I just think this is progressive politicians trying to change the language that the government uses which is pointless like the entire argument.

    • @WhoBlah21

    Also this just shows how out of touch some people that are higher on the socioeconomic ladder are. I make less than $20,000 a year, and most people who earn similar also know their jobs are low skilled, that's why they take them (less time to train = money that you need now). They might take it on because it's food on the table without a high barrier of entry so that way they can feed their family while also go to school at night.

    I kinda agree with the dude's sentiment though. If you want the society to go along with increasing the salaries of low-skill workers, it doesn't help that the job is looked down upon because of how capitalism makes people judge others heavily based on the income and the spending. Even if this particularly is just an euphemism. I just believe that a lot of people want to find excuses to look down on others to re-assert their own position or image about themselves in regards to the rest of society or to make themselves believe that they have it different and better, and it would be nice if this type of behavior could be reduced to the benefit of low-skill workers

      @@matthewpolly5830 Can you give an example? I only see him "play word games" to clarify. For example, with the whole r*pe conversation he had recently, he argued about the word r*pe because it carries the idea of a very aggressive action in a dark alley. However, people were using it loosely to describe things that were r*pey, but different. He gave the example of a girl waking up a guy with seggs without them agreeing on it beforehand. This is r*pe, but saying "yeah my gf r*ped me" is going to give a very different idea than "my gf woke me up with seggs but we hadn't agreed to it".
      Another way i see him do it is to make sure he and the person he is talking to are on the same page when it comes to the definition of a word. For example, when discussing how many immigrants have been expelled from the US under Biden, he asked what expel meant. He looked into it and it meant people turned away at the border when the person citing the statistic was using it as if Joe Biden had deported that number of immigrants.
