I had the same thinking as you after reading the first part about it sounding negative. I didn't read it like that at all. The last part makes it clear though.

I had the same thinking as you after reading the first part about it sounding negative. I didn't read it like that at all. The last part makes it clear though. Child education is a truly important job. I think emphasis also changes this subtly. I.e. did you read it in a neutral "truly important jobs" way or for example with emphasis only truly. "_truly_ important jobs_". Like "yeah yeah educator is important but not really. Only these other jobs are the really important ones, like burger flipper at McD". Well to be honest that does read quite negative to me!
