      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.

        undefined> but the problem is that we don’t really have “middle scale” instances yet to fill that niche between what amount to very small friend/interest groups in a little microniche and the giant beh

        agreed.

      I admire a librarian’s ability to connect people to books they’ll enjoy. Seems like a talent.

    Ambulance medic and drivers. I’ve seen what it is like when they can’t get a person stable enough to transport despite trying desperately hard with a 36yo mom in front of her 2 kids. I’ve heard stories of trips that just didn’t make it. I was once one of those stories. I was told they stuck around hoping I would make it because I was difficult to stabilize and barely made it. I’ve been told, the incidences involving kids are the hardest. Anyone that can do that job has my deepest respect.

    • 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.

    Kid’s teachers. That job is HARD. Tried it and couldn’t do it. College, on the other hand, is relatively chill; as long as you stay out of drama and politics.

    Janitors, the crap they have to deal with I couldn’t even handle. But somehow almost all of them are really nice people once you get to know them.
