... take my word for it that it's a bit of both.
I'm not saying you need more intelligence to be a grunt worker at a factory than a fast food worker... I'm saying they're interchangeable. Low skilled work. All you need is a GED in either case.
Like for instance with the load former you have to do basic math and measure cardboard of the right size to protect the boxes from the straps when the unit gets strapped. And you have to create these sheets of cardboard just based on the paper work and d the dimensions it gives. Sometimes which don't exactly match the actual boxes. It's not insanely complicated but it will trip the average temp worker up.
And in order to move up requires more trouble shooting skills than your average wage slave has. There are a lot of things that can go wrong with a machine. Hence like I said I'm milking the lack of help situation to learn everything I can about the machine so I can get bumped up to operator and earn more money.
