I absolutely agree with this. It's a pretty thankless and very underpaid job.

[–] JetpackJackson@feddit.de 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Garbage collectors/sanitation workers.

[–] starman@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] JetpackJackson@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

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.
