This is another signal supporting my thesis.

I am personally convinced that as soon as your job requires a complex and hard activities from your brain - it inevitably touches all its cicruits responsable for our deepest motivations, values etc.

It doesn’t mean you have to be crazy about your job etc, but it means a part of your personality is working towards some common goal too, not just your skills.

And personality tends to be very picky about how it wastes its relatively short lifetime.
