And probably a poor employee. In the real world they pay you not to learn or to innovate but to do something. Usually, that something is something you have done many times before, that way you can do it faster and thus more cost effectively for them. The closer you become to machine the more profitable you become. That is the biggest hurdle the smart students face in the real world.

Second and more importantly, it’s a matter of pride and work ethic. If someone is paying me $x an hour, I can do no less than $x worth an hour, even if it isn’t interesting.
