        Well, duh? I meant that I wish we as a species valued the pure pursuit of knowledge.

        I think there’s merit in learning something new, whatever that may be, and regardless of whether it will make some asshole more money.

          I was being funny. 😊

          And I agree with you about valuing learning for the sake of learning and not for profit.

    I do CAD and web dev - have been bombarded with “job offers” to get me to operate forklifts and or trucks for 10 years now. Even did an interview once where I didn’t even know that was the job until after the interview.

    The expertise overlap between Biomedical Scientist and Grilled Steak Cook is probably significative, though not in the value-added complex parts of the former.

    (Mainly I’m expecting that knowledge of biology might actually be useful for the latter, but I might just be totally wrong).
