Fair enough, I could see that. I was mostly thinking of it in terms of learned skills, rather than human relations/leadership/politics skills, which I've always felt are more of a thing that people have, or do not have. I probably shouldn't say its a low-skill or brainless job (in general... though I do often get that feeling from mangers), but I just personally never put it in the class of highly-skilled jobs. Edit: I guess that I've always just placed it as more of a 'ladder climber' type of job than a highly skilled worker type of job. But to be totally fair that is likely due to my experiences. :)
