Which industries do you think are MORE meritocratic than tech? Tech's not perfect, but I think they do it better than most (all?).

Which industries do you think are MORE meritocratic than tech?
Tech's not perfect, but I think they do it better than most (all?).
- owebmaster 9y agoSports? Music?
- yellowapple 9y agoI'm not really sure if music is all that meritocratic. In some circles, sure, but the mainstream seems to be dominated by pretty faces propped up by major labels. This does seem to be changing for the better thanks to the Internet, but there's still a very long way to go.
- owebmaster 9y ago> I'm not really sure if music is all that meritocratic. One thing for sure is that no industry in the world is all that meritocratic. But Music and Sports (even with the mainstream whitewash) for sure has a better social and racial distribution than any other industry I can think of.
- seppin 9y ago> Which industries do you think are MORE meritocratic than tech? None of them are, but tech isn't any better.
- jonas21 9y agoYou're saying all industries are equally meritocratic? That seems hard to believe.
- vonmoltke 9y agoIs it hard to believe that no industry is very meritocratic at all?
- stickfigure 9y agoSure - any industry that employs only True Scotsmen.

- seppin 9y agono, i'm saying none of them are particularly so, and none stands out as much more so than any other.
- gitlabuser 9y agoProfessional sports are much more meritocratic than the tech industry.
