Not so much a professional field as a field of human experience, but being homeless.
People think the main things homeless people lack are:
- food and drink
- shelter
- money
In actuality, most homeless people have at least some of that stuff. What they tend to totally lack, creating the difficulty in living a civilized life of dignity, are:
- bathrooms/hygiene facilities
- security
- storage space
That I will ignore 30 years of accumulated knowledge and experience - and all the relevant laws - just because they really really really want me to build something their way, and that they tell me it’ll be fine. If an experienced professional says “no” there is a good reason for that… we’re not just being obstinate.
IT is actually a vast field with many many specialties similar to medicine. Asking the copier guy why your server is down is kinda like asking a podiatrist why you’re sad all the time.
People who think the earth is flat. I work in geographic information systems.
As an uber driver: that I know where building G is. Your housing complex is like ten acres of apartment buildings and speed bumps I have to go over while I search around for building G.
For anyone unaware, you can fine-tune the pickup point in the Uber app by holding and dragging the map.
You set the pickup point, then I meet you there. That’s my side of this job.
