    Eh. If you can replace someone with practically any able bodied person off the street and a week of training, it’s not skilled labor.

    Can you technically argue that 1 week of training equates to becoming “skilled”? Sure, but it’s a dumb line to draw IMO.

      It’s dumb to draw any sort of line.

      I think it fits the dictionary definition. Don’t you?

      skill /skĭl/

      noun

      1. Proficiency, facility, or dexterity that is acquired or developed through training or experience.

        “painted with great skill.”

      2. A developed talent or ability.

        “improved his writing skills.”

      3. An art, trade, or technique, particularly one requiring use of the hands or body.

        “the skill of glassmaking.”
