That sure sounds like what would qualify as “unskilled labour”. It basically means that the pool of employees is every healthy adult human being and you can be nearly instantly replaced if needed.
I agree 100%. HVAC is not rocket science. As a matter of fact, I was instantly replaced after I quit. As was the guy that replaced me and so on.
The point I was trying to make is that despite being viewed as a “trade”, HVAC technicians lean more towards the other user’s definition of unskilled labor. If it isn’t clear, i think the idea of unskilled labor is bullshit.
So installing HVAC systems is unskilled work? I didn’t have any prior experience or education when I got a job doing that.
And you were able to work on your own with less than a weeks worth of OJT?
Actually it was about a week and it was other apprentices that did the majority of the training.
