Nice to see more empirical backing of the Bullshit Jobs theory 
The research found that people working in finance, sales and managerial roles are much more likely than others on average to think their jobs are useless or unhelpful to others.
The study, by Simon Walo, of Zurich University, Switzerland, is the first to give quantitative support to a theory put forward by the American anthropologist David Graeber in 2018 that many jobs were "bullshit"—socially useless and meaningless.
Everyone in my office has rearranged their monitors and desks so no one can see monitors until they're right behind you lol

It's actually easier to just have a million things up. I made sure that all our project tracking stuff is self managed in open source web apps, so everyone has an excuse to have like 3 tabs open. Plus the work we do is so hard for the owners to understand that just having ArcGIS open on one monitor is enough to make it look like you're working
I've got "gis toucher" as a skill I'm working on before I graduate, what field are you in, more or less?
Telecommunications permitting and design. We design fiber optic networks.
If you want to have a leg up once you get into an industry with GIS focus, definitely learn scripting and modeling tools. Knowing those you get the option of either leading a team or showing up and doing nothing forever because you've automated out a large portion of the work.
I'm our case, we've packed our templates to the gills with automation code, we used to manually index each cable, manually draw each drop to each home, and manually draw the underground conduit, but now since we know the topology of the drawing, we're able to use the base span and nearby context to auto-draw most of the equipment according to predefined specs.
