t. Baining tribal elder
I really relate to those ni??ers.
One of us is going to get ?anned for this, I swear.
I also relate to them in a way. I can't enjoy a task for long unless I can justify it with some concrete benefit to myself or others. People who just sit in front of a TV and watch award winning series's's on netflix dot com baffle me with their passivity.

Always thought academic careers were always quite relaxed. Do research, disappear from the lab all afternoon. At least that's what I heard from some phD students. I suppose I wouldn't mind investing time reading up on science journals, I love reading science articles.
I suppose there were jobs I hated where the boss is looking at firearms websites and expects me to pull the weight of two people. I don't smoke but I started taking 15 minute cigarette breaks along with the smokers. I suppose his job was fun. You ask 2 questions on a friday afternoon, 2 hours apart and interrupt him looking at the Glock gun website. I suppose some people love their jobs.

>all these wagecucks complaining about their ****ty jobs
lmao meanwhile I'm getting almost a 1000 euros every month for sitting on my ass and masturbating to 2B, thanks for paying taxes sheeple
No but seriously, I used to work construction, and I never hated the job itself or working in general, in fact seeing a multi-storey building rise around you was neat, but what killed me were the early mornings. If I could work from, say, 10 to 6, or even later, I'd gladly pick one of the random jobs out there right now and enlist.

Much respect for people like Jacob
I can easily have a lazy day or two if I have the possibility, which doesn't happen often. I'm at work now too, and it's a holiday.

I think only those with suitable qualifications should work in that industry. I'm surprised that some bosses are really harsh in that industry. They should legalize it so that the state can provide more protection. Of course you can make the licence fee really expensive to discourage people.
I remember telling a friend how I felt it was a form of female empowerment, how it allows her to gain resources that she would otherwise not have access to. Apart from defined values there doesn't seem to be any negative side to it, unless she tells her stable partner and he isn't open minded enough to accept that. I suppose some are if they happen to be pimps.
Just something at the back of my mind, I heard in Sweden they tax so much and reallocate, women don't feel the need to get married. 15 years ago a swedish friend said he was born from the first and only marriage, and he had 3 younger half sisters from two other fathers. Maybe thats empowerment without to resorting to working from home/on your back/working at night....

I enjoy building work/labouring outside in the summer, don't know I'd like it in winter though. I ****ing hate jobs where you don't really do anything, just spend your time watching the clock.
People like you are the reason Britain loses so many clocks to thieves!
Boss pays a visit to check up on you, clad in jodphurs and riding boots, trotting into the warehouse on his horse: "Where in blazes is the clock, McTavish?? You let the scallywags make off with another one, you damned lazy Scot! How are we to continue our mastery of the seas without accurate timepieces, hmmmm?"
"Ah'm real sorry Mr Fortesque-Smythe, but ah wus off in the toilet doin' a big jobbeh, d'yer ken?"
Not good enough Pentagathus, not good enough at all!

They're relaxed in the sense that you don't have a set schedule.
However, at the same time, they're not relaxed because you don't have a set schedule (so it's all on you, so sure, you have freedom, but you're also expected to get some top-notch research done).
For example most days I might have at most an hour to two hour long meeting I have to go to, however, I still have plenty of things I could and should be doing (I would consider a normal day spending at least 8-9 AM to 5-7 PM working on something or other).
At least at an R1 institution in the US, you're constantly reading research papers published in your sub-field/field, working on your own ideas, implementing your own research, analyzing data, emailing other researchers/communicating with people, and trying to get stuff published. So ultimately, it's not uncommon for us to work more than 50 hours a week (60-70 also isn't considered outside of the norm).
Of course, as long as you're getting your work done, you can totally go take an afternoon or day off if you need it, but I'd assume someone was a pretty **** researcher if they frequently just take afternoons off to slack off (that or they're literally a genius that doesn't need to put in work to do well).
TL;DR: Academia is great if you are self-motivating, have a high level of discipline, are good at working/learning independently and are good at dealing with stress.
Just speaking for myself and in the private sector, research consists of wonder and a bunch of what-if's. One or two major successes means you are set for life. But the wonder and curiosity never ceases.
It took me a while to understand why I hated working while other people really liked their jobs.
The reason was I thought a bit too highly about myself. I thought that it was a real disgrace to waste my precious time on something anyone could do. I was disgusted by the thought I had to do routine work to feed myself. I had a feeling I was meant for something greater.
It takes a while to rectify this train of thought. But once you realize what's happening you're in a much better place. Coincidentally, once I worked this issue out and returned to the workforce, I suddenly found a job that actually allowed me to do something big for my country and not just do it for food.

I get this feeling with every single job I do, no matter how inoffensive.Jacobhinds 说:
Totally disagree for myself anyway. I spent the better part of a year after high school before I went to university, with no job, no school, no obligations. All I did all day for eight or nine months was... Whatever I felt like. Which mostly involved playing a lot of video games or hanging out with friends. Greatest time of my life. I felt completely relaxed, fulfilled, happy, content.Jacobhinds 说:

And you wonder why immigrants are taking all the jobs.
