Professions as a "gun for hire" vs. General People with previous experience 

I wanted to say 2 main things + paragraphs headed after with dividing lines:

█1█ As a minimum your life validates you having experience and feelings that can be / should be shared - not just your current job or profession as the minimum - but also elsewhere... So if you're a programmer it can serve you to realise a non-programmer waving flags at you to say "Hey this is a big problem, stop the train for a bit..." - Or at least have others look at it... because no it feels like people are isolated or segregated somewhat by 'job' consciously or not.

You don't need a job to validate you at all - that's one sub-point - since all humans feel something have experience.
And second sub-point is that many people had professional experience so can add value now "they are out" of that environment to be able to see from "bird's eye view" or multiple experiences what similar roles are really about.

█2█ I understand why people look for professionals ONLY sometimes as their focus because it might be a 13 year old in their basement but even then I'd say "You're missing out a whole bunch of other people" and even the next pioneers.
Don't forget - "Work" is a limited and paid-for thing so it's big type of narrowing and bias when not everything has to be "for work" or your employers (government is included in your job since it oversees everything and doesn't allow you to really speak against it or facilitate actual change).

And so a sub-point is that "things don't even need to be paid for" (and the need to be bought and sold is a bit weird also when talking about humans and keeping things equal).

=============
CUT TO THE CHASE:
=============
Sometimes things paid are deliberately different to that of what seems to be the outcomes or even opposite (like open sourcing to simply plug into "monster-bad machines". The head of the snake (company hierarchy or your bosses) can change direction at the end of your completed work, or replace, using it for some other purposes.

UNprofessionals might seem strange looking at them but fighting the same goals - just not inside the paid / regulated / gated approaches... using banks, bosses, funding etc...

Worth remembering most people want the same things, but contracted work usually goes away from that funneling work elsewhere and doesn't have flexibility to consider other things or other people.

Which is why a job can be set up like pawns (or office cubicles) and contracted to work like a gun for hire to do the templated work all companies have which can be called a variety of similar things. 🎆 🔫

========================================
END NOTE - CHANGE FOR GOOD ETC... DEBT-BASED LIFE?
========================================
The surprising thing is we forget perhaps when jumping into our Mario business suite, how restricting / contracted it is, and then the overall-struggle is this kind of power-struggle which only short-term feeds you while often ignoring or taking from elsewhere since it's stacked on debt banking / business of giving debt to create positives which overall is negative or more debt.

If all pretends to be creating positive numbers but is just creating debt or our business pretend to give toilet paper and just cuts down trees (or chemically makes it in other ways) it can all be a bit useless / unprogressive. And worse is basing you family on that instead of putting the caring back into it more directly unprofessional or not.
