What does Veeky Forums do for a living? What is the historic or sociological origin of your profession

I work in communications. Use whatever the opposite of technological determinism is, in my work daily. Don't think we've ever had a thread on the Medium is the Message etc on here.

Also use a whole lot of ethics, and I'm not memeing, lessons I learnt about empathy listening to Sam Harris

Audit haha. Haha fuck this shit haha.

I study physics, but I like opine about WW2 on Veeky Forums

Second year britbong history and politics student, man I can't wait to be £50k in debt before I'm 22

truck loader and anime connoisseur, I just come here because I like getting non-/pol/ opinions without having to go to retarded echo chambers that have power tripping admins who silence all criticism of their autistic ideologies.

I conduct drug tests in a commercial lab. Employers send cheek swabs to us, or occasionally someone gets sent in. It's boring, but besides that it's honestly a pretty good job.

>What does Veeky Forums do for a living?
Work in the family business (vineyard).
>What is the historic or sociological origin of your profession
People want to get drunk, so we give them the drinks (tho most of our stuff is a wee bit too expensive to just swill down and get drunk with).
>Also is law school worth it?
Not in my country. So many lawyers you can find them in call centers.

Army

I'm in Law school rn. It's a lot of work but I think it'll be rewarding in the long run. Kind of the 'Chad' of non-stem fields desu.

I'm unemployed as a result of the above. I used to work in finance, and since then I've had various shitty retail/bar jobs trying to fill time outside of my degree.

I also have an Arts with a double major in International Studies and Middle-Eastern Studies; but I didn't think making something out of that was the field for me.

Dropout NEET.
I was gonna be a history major but then decided to just stop paying for college and pursue writing instead, since I only wanted the history degree to enrich my writing - I love history, and I love historicity.

I have to wonder what kind of college professor willingly browses Veeky Forums. I know they come in all strokes, but it's still surprising.
Half the reason I left college was because some students held a hostile takeover of my original program (humanities) which was centered on the western canon. And they more or less turned it into a sociology degree, subtracting everything western and adding a bunch of social justice bullshit. So many people got abused, especially the "uncle toms" who like the curriculum. That was a real wake up call.
At least that helped me realize what I was really interested in.
The academy is a fucking mess. I used to think it could be fixed, but I've since learned that it's always been home to radicals. Martin Luther's beliefs found their way into some of the earliest universities, and it goes without saying how subversive that was. Something I've noticed about young people is that they always seem to believe they have the solutions, the grand panacea, when really all they have is a new set of problems that they can't see yet. It's not surprising that when you concentrate them, you get social movements that cut against the grain of society.
What's your take on it?

Law school is worth it if you are already on the spectrum and get into a top 20 school otherwise it is a waste of time that will give you autism.

I'm a lawyer/criminal prosecutor.

Law school is not worth much at all, but it is typically necessary if you wish to be a lawyer in the US. If you really want to be a lawyer, and you get into a school that is ranked high enough to ensure you a shot at employment (or you have your own connections) then sure go for it.
