MODERATORS
I absolutely agree with this. It's a pretty thankless and very underpaid job.
Garbage collectors/sanitation workers.
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.
Lol. I'm gonna actually be learning C++ pretty soon so I guess I'll learn all about that
Librarians and Archivists
I admire a librarian's ability to connect people to books they'll enjoy. Seems like a talent.
Special education teachers.
honestly, any kind of teachers
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

Hospice Nurses.
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.
Fire fighters and people who work for hospice.
- 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.
Stunt people.
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.
