It depends on the field, and it’s also dependent on how good a person gets at their position.

Most of my time is spent looking at prints and customer specs and trying to come up with an engineering solution. Describing my job as doodling and thinking makes it sound like one of those jobs where a person doesn’t do shit.

Also there are also of people with MBA’s whose only job is enshitify everything for short term gain. They don’t really do shit but act like the smartest person in the room.

I would say that having to sustain mental effort on a task isn't doing nothing, even if you're not doing some super involved task.

Most of my current job is researching a client issue, digging through (really badly made and badly maintained) documentation, and giving a solution. The last part is about 20% of my job I'd say.

Oh, you have documentation? How nice.

It's more like a cursed treasure map than documentation really
