unskilled/skilled Unskilled work is work that requires little or no training, such as fry cook work at a
fast food restaurant, or work cleaning and maintaining buildings. Skilled work

degrees

less training. Skilled work as a plumber, computer programmer, or automotive
repairman may only require a four-year degree, a two-year degree, or an even
shorter certification.
