Steele Willison replied to Jeff Konecki's discussion Careers in Decreasing Worldsuck"Have you checked out AmeriCorps?

Chaz replied to Jeff Konecki's discussion Careers in Decreasing Worldsuck"Decreasing world suck in relation to a career doesn't mean you have to have a high profile, high paying job.

Brendan replied to Jeff Konecki's discussion Careers in Decreasing Worldsuck"I'm a doctor, and I can tell you that the people who most decrease suck for my patients are the recreation therapists and child life specialists. They're freaking amazing. Anything in the medical profession, obviously: speech,…"
Anna Banana replied to Jeff Konecki's discussion Careers in Decreasing Worldsuck"Education. I think the number one solution to decreasing world suck would be to educate the suckerz.

Diana Pham replied to Jeff Konecki's discussion Careers in Decreasing Worldsuck"Peace corps, doctor, scientist, blogger, dancer, anything really. We are expected to have a shortage of oncologist by 2020, so I'd look into that."
odetomysocks replied to Jeff Konecki's discussion Careers in Decreasing Worldsuck"You'll be able to decrease world suck in pretty much any career you choose.

Kirstyn replied to Jeff Konecki's discussion Careers in Decreasing Worldsuck"I wouldn't trade my job for anything. I love it. I'm a licensed veterinary technician and I work at a high volume clinic but, my clinic also works with the community. For instance, on the 26th of February, we will be participating in…"
gullwinggirl replied to Jeff Konecki's discussion Careers in Decreasing Worldsuck"Personally, I feel like it doesn't necessarily have to be something huge, like becoming a doctor. The world always needs awesome doctors, sure, but medical school is a huge commitment. (sorry if I sound like a Debbie Downer)
I work in a elder…"
Becky Havens replied to Jeff Konecki's discussion Careers in Decreasing Worldsuck"Personally, my goal to descrease worldsuck is to work in NGOs and nonprofits.
I eventually want to go to grad school for Peace Studies (which I realize isn't something everyone agrees with). But for now, I volunteer-- which feeds my need to…"

Cimentarius replied to Jeff Konecki's discussion Careers in Decreasing Worldsuck"Well I believe it very much depends on what you would define as "good".
