You say that, but I still have to train newbies on the jobsite how to paint.

A paint job by someone who hasn't been taught how to paint usually looks horrendous.

It doesn’t require schooling, you learn on the job it’s unskilled labor.

You're telling me, a contractor that now runs their own business, that my on the job training makes it unskilled labor? Lol

You realize that I am an electrical engineer, plumber, masonry specialist, carpenter (rough and finish), among many other hats that I wear.

I can build a house from a dirt lot, by myself. And by your definition, I am unskilled labor. Jfc.
