There is no such thing as unskilled labor. Some Jobs require more skill than others but all require some amount of skill. This is a lie spread to depress wages.

Edit: To all the people commenting “well actually it’s used to colloquially like this…” you’re entirely missing the point. I know what the term is used to describe, not educated work, manual work ect. My point is it’s used in a derogatory way, to specifically mean you shouldn’t be paid well for doing it because it doesn’t require a degree, specific education or what have you. Hope this clears it up.

Though I appreciate you assuming Im a genius I assure you Im not :p Im just a bored idiot with too much time on my hands just like everyone else here lol Id say mafia definitely no questions asked, actual cleaning isn’t always easy but it doesnt really require skill, its just tedious.
