I am a facilities manager for a large athletic shoe company, which is a blessing as I am also an ultra-marathoner and go through at least 1 pair of running shoes a month.
What do you guys do for work?

It's a nice thought that we could all contribute in a meaningful tangible way to improving the world. You could argue that just working and paying taxes is contributing to society/the world. It's a reality of the world that you can't fight or beat the system in any real way, possibly go and live self sufficiently off the grid but then you aren't really doing anything to help others.
In your teens and 20s you can think like this, once you have a family relying on you then you have to become something like a "slave". It's not even close to real slavery but I know what you are getting at. You could do volunteer work in your spare time, just help out some old ladies in your neighbourhood or donate some part of your wage to charity to do a bit extra if you want to boost your karma but in the western capitalist world this is the way it is for better or worse.
Yup. It paid the bills. Good job skill.... and then when we went to electronic medical/dental records, my typing skills came in handy....I could whip out impressive treatment notes very quickly
. So all the vacation typing jobs I had throughout school also paid off in the long run Dentistry allowed me to make my own decisions...I never did like to be told what to do....
Sure, I help in the discovery and recovery of precious, rare earth, and common metals from the ground that are then used in advancing the well being of all humanity. Such skill has come through 4 years of brainwashing at school followed by 4 years of experience in the field. These metals are critical for technological and medical advancements. Consider everything in your life that you have came as a result of my work.
Why don't you tell us what it is or was that you did? Lead the conversation down that path. I've seen others have chimed in saying that their "brainwashing" has actually helped humanity. What about your enlightened free mind?
