PSA: Heard a GC say drywall is just a filler trade

Was on a job in Bakersfield last Tuesday and overheard a general contractor tell the homeowner that drywall is basically just a filler trade anyone can do. Took everything I had not to drop my pan. Made me realize how little respect we get for the actual skill involved in mudding and taping clean. Anybody else run into people who think this job is easy?

Bet my mud looks better than their management skills.

A filler trade anyone can do"? Wow, that's like saying a surgeon just cuts things open.

Last Tuesday some guy told me hanging rock is just screwing boards to studs.
