Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

Unskilled usually means no experience required.

I think we should just say the latter.

It's not even no experience required, it's usually "can learn on the job"...

In theory you could learn any job "on the job", it's just that some jobs would take a lot more of the existing employees time to teach.

Also, if "time to learn" = more pay, then astrophysicts and philosophers would be some of the richest mofos out there.

In my experience many jobs don't have existing employees to teach anyone, you are the only person who does that job, so if you don't know how to do something you need to be able to figure it out/learn it on your own.
