I agree, and have the same experience, minus the date my career started. That said, there's still something to be said for the fact that this is the only field

I agree, and have the same experience, minus the date my career started.
That said, there's still something to be said for the fact that this is the only field that requires so much outside work, constant upskilling, etc.
- biglyburrito 1y agoTech is absolutely NOT "the only field that requires so much outside work, constant upskilling, etc". A good doctor never stops going to conferences, reading, publishing articles, etc.
- tstrimple 1y agoBut the doctors who never go to conferences and who don't stay up to date on anything are also called Doctor and work in the exact same places. Good luck telling the differences between them as a layman. I agree with you though. And the percentage of "Good Doctors" probably rivals the percentage of "Good Engineers" or "Good Anything" really because care of a craft is not the norm. Doing the bare minimum to avoid getting fired is the median we are exposed to on a daily basis across professions.
