All of those professions do plenty of hours of "work" outside of "billable hours".
They all read professional publications in order to keep up with the progress their professions are making. In many cases this is a few hours a day of reading.
For most this is a chore but it's part of being a professional in those professions.
- huffmsa 7y agoReading papers isn't the same as doing the job though. I read mostly technical content related to software dev / general tech, but I rarely create software outside of work.
