this reminds me of the monster ad:

When I grow up, I want to file all day. I want to claw my way up through middle management. Be replaced on a whim. I want to have a brown nose. I want to be a Yes Man. Yes Woman! Yes sir! Coming sir! Anything for a raise sir! When I grow up…I want to be under appreciated. Be paid less for doing the same job. I want sunshine blown up my dress.

In high school (2+ decades ago), we had to take some skills assessment exam that purported to suggest a good career for us. I don't remember what mine said, but a friend revealed that his recommended job was "clerk".

(He's now a front-end web developer.)

Was it called G.O.A.T. by any chance?

In all seriousness though, that's one of the reasons I dislike academia. It seems to have a propensity towards limiting people, maybe it's just been my experience so far.

Life has to be more than that.

it is for people without small children. small kids require a lot of your time.
