Tbf this isn't that great of a metric and the book itself relies on it a lot. I've personally seen a few of doctors and surgeons describe their job as mostly bullshit because they're not satisfied with it.
- chucksmash 3y agoI can totally imagine that they don't consider the core task they do bullshit but the volume of hours they spend on everything else and what they put up with is what makes them feel it is bullshit. I don't think many computer programmers think programming computers in itself is bullshit, but everything around that core task can feel like bullshit very easily, and a lot of programming jobs feel like nothing but bullshit. Do you feel they're describing "healing people" as bullshit, or that they're describing existing in the framework we've built up around healing people as bullshit?
- lannisterstark 3y agoAlthough I'm sure you didn't mean it, your comment sorta reads like "they obviously couldn't have meant it that way, They obviously meant it this particular way." Not everyone likes being a doctor. This isn't a US exclusive thing.
