Career, is there such a thing?

Be more specific, can we eliminate some of those useless professions (e.g. the cumbersome structure of government) and automate some others (finance, accounting, law etc), and maybe we could produce more useful things for everyone?

I will write more tomorrow.

I think you should just listen to Jerome on this one. If occupations were truly useless, they would not exist. If someone, ANYONE found a use for them, they would exist, because they'd pay someone else to do it. I think that's pretty much it.

I'll expand on Jerome's anti-government bias and say that even 'useless government jobs' are useful in some respect because there's SOMEONE out there who thought it would be a good idea to create those jobs. Eventually if those jobs are truly useless, they will disappear. I doubt even 'The Government' directly employs people for completely useless jobs (oh I dunno, like serial killing, poking holes in bubble wrap for the explicit purpose of poking holes in bubble wrap, eating celery for the express purpose of creating fertilizer, etc).

Will stuff get more efficient? Of course! Everything does over time, as we learn how to do things better. Only the market and society will decide what is useful and what is not. We can try and predict, but we'll be wrong most of the time, it'll just happen gradually.


P.S. English also my 2nd language, and no accent here

Your first language is relevant because? English is my third language, and it's a damn sight better than yours. FAIL!

Pretended innocence? I think what you meant to say was Actual Retardness, you are quite possibly the most retarded looking asian "chick" I've ever seen, and I've seen retarded Chinese people. :P

P.S. You also seem to fail at being a wino, is it safe to conclude that you just plain suck?






(hmm, am I being too harsh?)

I try to hold off on holding anyone accountable for their language skills since I'm pretty good at English and horrible at everything else (only somewhat horrible at Spanish though). But all that said, I commend you Disp (and Da1, Gall, Mantra, etc.) for communicating so well. As for TelCat, it's a damn good thing she went into computers.

Tip #1: Stop speaking Engrish, and try the real language.

Tip #2: Stop looking like a deer caught in the headlights.

Tip #3: Keep those puppies hidden.

#1, my mother tongue is Mandarin.

#2, need to look like a deer caught in the headlights, don't you love the pretended innocence?

Last but not least ... almost went to the 2nd farewell party tonight, almost didn't drink. But when I reach home I was so upset I am almost drink dry gin straight from the bottle.

yes I'm sure there aren't younger asian chicks with bigger tits/look better than you/are sluttier than you with less experience that would get hired within a month of you leaving the way the economy around the world is right now. And when I say I'm sure there aren't, I'm sure there are.

Sure there are younger, hotter asian girls around, there are a LOT of them too. But there aren't too many smarter & more interesting ones around ... and let me to be straight with you, there are NONE that I have encountered!

But with the rate I am drinking (alcohol), there will be a lot soon, hahaha!

[T3l Ca7]

Time to put down the bottle.

Oh but people in finance can hardly drink enough - especially the front office people. They also tend to be lousy liars.

Okay, thanks for the concerns and all these: get out of the industry.

Maybe I have been misleading, I am not exactly complaining the industry I am in, no matter how transient, ephemeral it might be. I have chosen it to start with and to be honest, I like to hang around with assertive & intelligent people which unfortunately finance tends to attract.

But let's be realistic, in which industry you wouldn't have some selfish, egoistical, materialistic bastards? Unless I work for myself, it's unlikely I would be able to escape the bureaucracy too.

I am not trying to be a whinger, and I do want to make a positive difference. What I original intended to discuss was whether the society could, maybe by organize in some other ways, to maximize the output for the same amount of labor we are putting in.

Be more specific, can we eliminate some of those useless professions (e.g. the cumbersome structure of government) and automate some others (finance, accounting, law etc), and maybe we could produce more useful things for everyone?
