Career, is there such a thing?

[404 Not Found]

Anyone know of a poor established Plumber or Electrician? Good career to have.

Useless occupations are those that work for others in large corporations, hinged on the fact that they are always expendable and offer nothing but data entry and dime a dozen computer skills of which the person can be replaced every year by someone else for less salary and benefits. Plenty of skilled people out of work that will take a job for less pay and be just as productive.

So TelCat...what are these skills that you may have that are above others that would make you special and not to be replaced once you are costing a company more than your worth?

My boss probably beg to differ. After have received a reasonable bonus and salary increase, I foresee a poor half yearly review coming.

But the truth is that (probably a cocky way of saying things), I got skills, if it doesn't work out with this job, I WILL find something else. The sad truth is: from my past experience, I always have, and always with a equal or better salary (twice more than 30% +). But then again at the end of the day, does it matter? Is my life only worth A$90k a year? And if I am indeed become unemployed for a year or more, do I become less worthy?

On a grander picture: is there anyways to improve our efficiency (most probably with the employment of machines and artificial intelligence & less redundant job categories), can we finally make ... the world a more efficient place ... and thus maybe a happier place?

Or (on a groomer note) we are just doomed with the drowsy drums. We are just meant to reproduce. There really is nothing there other being the vehicle of passing on the genes in some physical forms?

Have you ever thought how many of those occupations are just useless. There is a reason why the payment your government give to jobless people is called ‘social security’. Sometimes I couldn’t help but think, although there are people contributing to the society, like farmers, factory workers, scientists (although some of them are also helping to destroy humanity) engineers & medical persona (to me, some experienced nurses are just as valuable as doctors), other industries are just … well … are just there to give people something to do, keep them under control. You see, when you getting paid US$100, 000 and more and have to work 50+ hours a week, there is little time and energy left to consider what is the meaning of all you are doing.

In a way, the world peace depends on people not thinking. If the world is full of highly intelligent, highly educated people who think a lot and acting on their ideas, there will be … anarchy.

p.s. as always this kind of thread is always submitted when I am drunk, because I secretly suspect suffering from attention deficit disorder, I am probably more productive when I am drunk, hahaha!
