Teachers. Big time.
I absolutely agree with this. It's a pretty thankless and very underpaid job.
Garbage collectors/sanitation workers.
Yeah garbage collectors are very valuable. The world without them would be terrible.
Just take a look at that awful C++ where you have to manage memory by yourself.
Lol. I'm gonna actually be learning C++ pretty soon so I guess I'll learn all about that
- Climatologists. I took a fair number of undergraduate climatology courses, and witnessed first hand how researchers have to wade through the intense politicization of their discipline. I don't know how they do it? They must have nerves of steel.
- Veterinarians and veterinary technicians. Vets have to learn more medicine than most doctors and apply it across a wide range of species, because just having to deal with human physiology would be too easy. And yet it's not a high-paying profession and they often have to deal directly with angry pet owners feeling they're being overcharged. It's a high burnout profession. Vet techs, for their part, do everything a nurse practitioner would do, plus add a bunch of extras like anesthesiology, basic surgeries, and so on.
