As a person with a high paying job, I agree.
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. >

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 >

Define easy and hard?
The reason these jobs are low paying is you can easily replace workers. A large portion of this replaceability is that a poorly educated, unskilled person can be trained to do the job in a matter of hours. The higher paying the job the harder it is to replace the workers. >

I mean I have a well paying job that’s easy that you could easily replace me with. >

Well there's also the factor of how many capable people are willing to do the job, and how useful the job actually is. >

It's definitely not easy. I've worked both sides of the map here and my fast food manager job was far more intense than my design job.
That being said, I think the problem is that your job is easily replaceable. You exert more physical effort during the job, but you didn't exhaust as much to achieve the position you have (be that through study, education, training, etc).
I think the thought of easier comes from the reality that it's easier to get and be replaced; not that it's easier to do >

Is it? None sense. The lower pay the harder the job. High payed jobs require high investment in advance and not everyone can afford that, so demand is high. >

Meh. I make 70-100k in a year with a 2-year community college education. My job’s plenty hard. >

Convenient how you don't mention what your job is or what the title is. >

Higher paying jobs usually take more thought. Lower paying jobs take more elbow grease.
If you have a low paying job you could be like: I'm fine with this. I like the simpicity of my life.
Which works for the simple life folks.
Then you want to be in some sort of a union (Eg. Marriage) and you eiher are burdened with convincing your significant other that he low pay life is better than the high paying life, or you have to know you're denying your significant other a life that they see other people getting.
You'll be like: I dont give a shit! If she (or he) doesnt like the low pay life then she (or he) is a bitch!! Well not really. Low pay life is being denied of a lot of things so it's not "just different" it's significantly less.
Then having kids (I realize many of us DONT want children. That's cool. Just incase you want kids. You'll be the has less parrent(s). Kids being kids will feel it. It'll make you feel bad because (hopefully) you love your kid(s.)
Finally, the young you that is an idealist, living the low pay life, can suffer through much much more than the old you can. Low pay life denies you of benefits. If you get sick or injured, theres insurance (with higher paying) and there's stuff like savings accounts. You have emergency funding. Mental health is a huge thing too. Low pay people dont tend to take vacations. They are denied the relaxation time and their stress builds up like a snowball rolling down a hill. Old you will be like: Fuck. I wish I coulda saved up for this. Or I wish I had that. Old you will suffer through stuff like dietary deficiencies poor people suffer though, lack of recriational exercises. etc.
You don't have to be an instagram 31 exotic car person. But you should always see how far you can take your skills / abilities in terms of making income. You can be frugal as FUCK and just tuck away your extra $$$. But dont settle for entry level job misery. You may not feel it now but you definitely will down the road >

They are easy. If a 16 year old can do it while in high school, then the job is easy. You’ll realize that when you have a decent paying job. It’s a big change. >

I don't think most people think a job that requires unskilled labor is easy. Stocking shelves or working a frier sucks.
But if you have nothing else to offer, you can't really complain. It's on you to be better if you want a better job. >

The problem is the wages aren't just naturally low. Employers do everything legally and illegally in their power to keep those wages low.
So you can and should complain. >

The real problem are the people that put in minimal effort and show no means to do better. 
I remember when I worked in a retail shop. I joined at the same time 4 other people joined. me and another person put in our best efforts to do the job well. We both got promoted with better pay and extra holidays very quickly where the lazy, low-effort people just complained about the pay and half-assed everything saying "if i'm going to get paid minimum, then i'm going to do the minimum". 
That mindset doesn't help anyone, and definitely doesn't help yourself. >

I dropped out of high school at 15 to work full time at: Dairy Queen, McDonalds, Target, and Sephora. All of those jobs required me to stand on my feet all day deal with the general public and busy crowds. 
I’m a CPA now. Everyday I get mentally fucked by an extremely competitive work environment and leave absolutely exhausted from trying to solve ridiculously complex accounting issues. Im salaried and my work comes home with me. I never get a break. 
Those first jobs were easier because after a one-week training, I was good to go. I could clock out for my shift and immediately forget about work. I can only do my job now after a 4-year degree and two years of nonstop studying for my CPA exams. The environment is much more intense. >

If Elon can split his time between being CEO of 3 (4?) companies and shitposting on Twitter 24/7 then I can't imagine it's a very demanding job. I'd argue the opposite, the more you make the easier your job likely is. >

Maybe not “easier” but definitely less stressful since you don’t take the work home with you. For example- I worked at Chick-fil-A in high school. When I clocked out, I clocked out. My first job out of college was teaching- I thought about my lesson plans, the kids, parents, responsibilities, ect all day- every day. I now work as an architectural drafter and constantly have a running list of what I need to take care of and often work outside of my set hours. I think that’s the main advantage of lower skill/ hourly labor- it doesn’t go home with you. >

Bullshit . Doing three jobs are once when everyone quits at extremely stressful. You do take it home since it is often your are so physically tired all you can do at home is sleep. Then the depression of living in poverty does go home with you . Sounds like a more elitist attitude. >

Good point
