    What do you want to call it? Just curious, we love to criticize but not offer suggestions

      Why try to draw an arbitrary division like that in the first place? There are a lot of “skilled labor” positions that don’t actually require any certification or training. And there are a lot of “unskilled labor” positions that do require training. It kind of just seems like a way to dismiss certain types of labor as “lower” than others, at least that’s how the term is used in a majority of contexts.

      I got into an argument with someone about this. I ended up proposing generalized versus specialized.
