That is funny. However Ill postulate this: Why wouldn't someone go to where the most interesting work is to be found though? You don't become a military doctor

You don't become a military doctor if you don't find it interesting stitching up bullet holes. And vice versa, you don't become a military doctor if you're not interested in working on the same.

- adrianN 3y agoMaybe because people prefer earning money over interesting work?
- arcticbull 3y ago> Why wouldn't someone go to where the most interesting work is to be found though? Well, Mississippi is ranked 34th in crime, 41st in education, 49th in healthcare, 49th in economy, 40th in fiscal stability, 47th in infrastructure and 36th in opportunity. Assuming a medical professional cares about anything other than "natural environment" in which they rank 16th, I suspect there's a long list of places they'd rather end up.

- heyoni 3y agoWhat’s your point? Mississippi hasn’t exactly been receptive to the civil rights movement.
- ImPostingOnHN 3y agoHow did that come to be?
- VectorLock 3y agoThats a very HN opinion. Sometimes people pick careers for factors other than how interesting they are.
- jtbayly 3y agoAnd sometimes they pick locations based on something other than "statistics" and "rankings."
