and the people in charge don't really understand because all they understand is the motivation or drive or desire to work your way up the hierarchy.
and the hierarchy is a pyramid, anyway.
so it doesn't matter if you do a degree in philosophy or management or law or medicine you are all aiming for the same place: the top of administration.
so they don't understand what my problem is that i don't settle in for 5 or 7 years of suck suck suck suck sucking up the fact that people will revise a PhD thesis around and around and around while I marvel at their brillance...
for the opportunity to come out further ahead on the whole ascension life-plan thing.
they don't understand...
things like intellectual curiosity. or the idea of people being motivated and inspired towards particular subject matter. these sorts of things they don't really get.
medicine is just a place on a hierarchy for them.
and the bulk of the people who 'make it' in medicine end up not even practicing medicine! they end up as board members or administrators or even philosophy academics! so it doesn't matter what you study / what you learn.
so they don't comprehend the harms the inflict upon me.
