Yeah - I liked that part of his essay too, I also just generally liked his writing.

There’s something satisfying in this kind of work with clear explicit goals and getting through the list everyday.

I think a lot of society issues seem to stem from how he briefly felt, that this kind of thing was a sign of failure or that he was embarrassed to tell friends at the holiday party.

The irony to me is that this kind of work is probably more valuable to society than sports illustrated and day to day almost certainly so.

If there was more cultural respect for these kinds of jobs, people would feel better about themselves while doing them. I think there should be. I was glad he felt good about it at the end.
