Black Aeronaut has done something which we call, in the trades, "sticking one's foot in one's mouth." Never imply someone else's job is easy. Or that any skilled labor is easy to learn. We all learn at different rates, so it's not good to extrapolate your own mental model to other people.
I see this a lot in programming, with the boot camps. Some people really can learn how to program in six weeks, but there are a lot of washouts too. People who, when you try to make their brains do symbolic logic, it always seems difficult. They might have high emotional intelligence, and be suited to an entirely different job, which I would be terrible at. Sure, I can learn to be a salesman, but it would be difficult, and I'd never really be good at it.
