there is plenty of room for variation within this line of reasoning and ~each person's experiences will be unique~ but we can generalize to some extent without flipping over the table and yelling FAGGOT FAGGOT FAGGOT perhaps???

hmm... i dont know...

actually, doctors, architects, and most others are faced with general de facto economic coercion and specific institutional coercion into serving specific parties and not others. of course, this economic coercion operates to a lesser extent on those in lucrative professions, so yes, doctors and architects who exclusively service the wealthy (most architects and many doctors) will fall further toward the "perpetuating capitalism" side of the sliding scale than the hapless clerk but not nearly so far as the banker

im dont see why its essentially necessary to bring "profession" into the discussion of the morality at all beyond which kinds of work are available to specific people, and which way to structure your education when you're young enough to not already have boxed yourself into a specific range of options. it sounds like you would agree that a doctor that exclusively does really expensive plastic surgery would have fewer morality points than someone who manages the accounts of the sryian red crescent or something. on the other hand it probably makes more sense to say that on average people who identify as finance people do more harm as a group than people who identify as medical people (drs, nurses, people who do admin at hospitals, etc). but that doesnt mean a specific person is automatically doing something bad by associating with the bad group. so again, in the context of an individual considering the moral dimensions of career choice, i dont think that making broad statements about the morality of a huge swath of potential jobs is not that helpful and it makes more sense to try and avoid specific known injustices.

today i completed all the work that my job lady told me to do for this week like a boss

one thing she suggested is that i look into those websites that allow you to bid on freelance work and small consulting contracts. she said this might be a way to work on basic job skills and build up some experience while making a bit of money before i level up to the big time. i sort of thought they were bullshit but apparently there are some that aren't that bad.

every time i ever checked them out it was just a bunch of guys in china and india bidding like $50 for every contract. might be ok for experience but not so much for first-world income
