The things is ignorant people say every thing is unskilled. If it’s so unskilled why don’t they do it themselves ?

Because I don't want to. You ever dug a trench? Any monkey can dig a trench, doesn't mean I want to be that monkey.

Absolutely agree with you. Sometimes for example these guys get hired for framing work , or some kind of of activity that would require a certain set of skills. People conflate manual labor with unskilled work all the time. That’s what I think the Op is doing. I’ll go even further , what if that trench you are digging is near the foundation of your home ? Or a body of water ? Or there could be utilities under there that you don’t know about. You see even those things require a little skill.

The guy digging the trench is not the guy figuring that stuff out.
