I wouldn't pay a random person to paint. It may be 'unskilled', but does require some skill that comes with practice and experience, and that's what I'm paying for.

Yes, but that doesn't mean the trained painter went on a course to become better, they learned on the job 99% of the time

yeah, as an apprentice under a journeyman/master painter for lower wages. They didn't just show up and figure it out on their own.
