What kind of job out there actually uses your brains? It seems like most jobs dont really need very much brainpower, even though they might require alot of brains to train for, for example therapists, doctors and nurses, salesmen, office jobs etc.
A Magid Shiur hopefully uses his brains. I think that computer programmers and actuaries use their brains on occasion as well.
I would hope a Doctor too uses his brain every time he sees a patient, despite the OP’s impression otherwise.
I would hope that in any job one uses the brains Hashem gave them. Jobs that require more thought than action might be the very ones you described, except for nurses that is.
i think any job (done right) uses brain power and is fulfilling too. not every job is necessarilly intellectual, but almost any job requires people skills, or interpersonal skills, or at least organizational skills.
Hmm, so a physician is a blue-collar worker?
I think the most brain consuming job is that of a programmer. They get paid per brain-power-hour. My brother once showed me part of a program he wrote. My head went spinning. Me? I steer clear from any think-related work. (I work for the post. Posting in CR.)
ZK-you don’t give yourself enough credit. Ask Mommy, I’m sure she agrees.
If you truly want to use your “brains”… become a writer. That is the highest way you can use your talents if that is what you are designed to acheive.
basket,
does that take more brains than dancing on a bathroom sink?
HaLeivi,
Maybe you might demonstrate for all the good children your talent.
“therapists, doctors and nurses, salesmen, office jobs etc. “
i certainly hope that all of the above use their brains! even after training it takes brains to interpret the facts and apply them to the job. people skills are not enough, i would hope that all professionals would try to keep up with the latest research in their fields which in today’s information age is a daunting challenge. nurse especially need to be informed as they are the ones the doctors and their patients rely on to spot potentially dangerous situations. no offense to anyone but the only jobs i would say which do not require intellectual input are those which are solely menial or repetitive. being a doctor or a therapist is much more than knowing the right answers as on a test. it takes discernment and the ability to access a wealth of material, even to know what questions to ask. if your question is thAT YOU WOULD ENJOY A JOB THAT IS SOLELY INTELLECTUAL, THEN LOOK INTO RESEARCH. sorry about the caps lock, it was accidental.
basket, I wouldn’t do that. I don’t eat fish and meat in the same plate.
Thansk Haleivi. When someone is able to connect a few of the dots in your brain, let me know. I’d love to see what it looks like when your thoughts make sense to me. Your concepts are just disconnected, but if you think its a funny thing to say, go ahead. We are all ears. Sort of.
