We’ve all seen someone doing something that we found interesting. YouTube has made it so that anything you find interesting, you can see someone doing it and they make it look so easy to do. Cut down a 60 foot tree, And not hit the house, the car or the power lines. I can do that. I saw it on YouTube.
Too many times, we see an expert doing his job and we ignorantly assume that we could do that same job, at the same skill level. Simply because we saw how easy the professional made it look. Not taking into consideration the time spent Learning that job, knowing all the ends and outs of that job, Putting in the work, Putting in the long hours it takes to master any craft. If they can do it, I can do it.
This is the poor attitude those people have. I don’t need to get any training. I don’t need to go to school, I don’t need to learn how. If they can do it, I can do it. People like this will drop a 60-foot tree on your head and say oops my bad and walk away as if nothing happened. You’ve got to know what you’re doing.
When you’re cutting down a tree, Or working in the drive through. Never assume that even the simplest job doesn’t require proper training. One who knows what they’re doing. In the drive through, he or she knows, before I send this order out. I will check to make sure It’s the proper order, it’s hot, it has all the proper utensils and condiments. And it is how I would like to receive my order if I was serving myself in the drive through.
You’ve got to know what you’re doing. Even in the drive through. Yes! in the drive through. Learn your craft. Whether you are chopping down 60-foot trees or working in the drive through. You’ve got to know what you’re doing.
Smoke That Over.

I agree 100%! There has grown in the world a generation that doesn’t value education and work. Dr. King spoke to this in the 60’s I believe when he made a reference to a “Street Sweeper”. We all must learn to and value all of the work that gets us through our days.
So I can’t say I agree 100% but I do agree. I think something you should look into and incorporate into what you said is the degree or level of job or field does make a difference. For example I myself picked up all my mixing and mastering skills via YouTube tutorials and literally exploring the program and learning what each effect or FX is supposed to do and it’s actual reason for being able to do that and what it means for an overall mix. Now would society recognize me more and maybe quicker if I got a degree in engineering. Yeah probably. But does that mean that the person with the degree is better than the actual job. I knew a while supervisor who didn’t retain any skills and was a supervisor who couldn’t even remember what his own degree was and told us (Justice an I) to basically teach him the job he got for the piece of paper because we had the actual skills but he got the pay for knowing nothing and not even trying. When you make things based of degree alone and not incorporating skill level things become unfair.
