    Worse than that, it’s not even experience, it’s like paid in cool factor or something. Like because you’re working in private space contracting your kid needs 50% less shoes or sth

    Sorry Timmy we can only get the left right now, maybe we get the right at Christmas, but it’s cool because daddy launches rockets

      Literally this. A guy mentioned he worked at Tesla, I asked him where he was planning to go next (seeing as he could make more at any car or many tech companies), and his response was "Some of us really believe in what we're doing")

      Instead of "lmao you think making $100,000 death-traps is going to save the world?", I remarked how important it is to feel connected to what you do for work.

      especially funny because the old trade used to be that private sector work paid you way more than government stuff! But now its just like "yeah youll be able to impress the worlds biggest dipshits with your resume"
