They aren’t easier OP, but they’re easier to get
Nobody is saying that being a janitor is harder/easier than being a teacher, but one of those professions requires years of college and etc
Totally agree!!
Try doing "in home care"...pay sucks, it's hard, you get close to your clients(can't call them patients if you don't have a degree) and then they die. 😔
Hardest low paying job ever. >

Idk why you got downvoted, home care and aged care is so difficult >

Cause people suck, mostly. >

Not unpopular. It’s obvious. If you want an easier life, you get a degree. Might have to grind a few years but it’s worth it. My current software development job is easier than anything I’ve had in the past and it pays double at minimum. >

I don't think they mean the work is easy, they likely mean it's easy to learn how to do it >

People struggle with the term "easier" and think it's meant negatively.
Like you said "easier" in this context is meant to show that it requires standard training of which most should be common sense but just showing their procedure.
