What's a good job for someone who is hardworking but not smart?

Social worker?

they are by definition since they have the degree. Psychiatry is a specialization within the field of medicine. You can of course consider that particular branch bullcrap.

A degree doesn't make a doctor. Psychiatry is a pseudoscience, a political construct, and its practitioners do not deserve the title of doctor any more than chiropractors.

Yea and pressing buttons on a CT and looking at pictures is tough. Weird that vet techs with a high school degree and a year of community college are able to do it with no problem.

Engineering.

Only a few books are used from Nazi North Korea to Nazi Israel.

Hasn't changed since the Ancient Persians invented Calculus.

Every college teaches the same easy, boring material.

Haha hemeonc you are an idiot. Radiology is the most intellectually demanding specialty in medicine. You have to know the pathology, physiology, anatomy of every disease that exists. You also have to know clinical medicine and surgery. On top of all that, you have to know physics.

I did my intern year in internal medicine and this included several months of heme onc. You just hold the patients hand and throw a couple of chemotherapy agents at them from the latest clinical trial. Do you see what I did there?

Don't go running your mouth when you don't have a fuggin clue.

Radiologists and pathologists make you look good, don't ever forget that.

Govt worker ... wait, the hardworking part would be a dis-qualifier.

Own your own company. You obviously need to learn the trade, but once you do you could have a successful landscaping company etc if you worked hard.

If you think business takes hard work but no smarts has overlooked one major factor in business: COMPETITION. Try and start a landscaping company for example. Sounds simple and easy compared to engineering. In a way it is but COMPETING with all the other landscaping companies is hard. You had better figure out how to make your company better, cheaper, faster etc. or you are dead in the water. Plenty of people worked hard but went broke because they never figured out how to compete. THAT takes brains.

I agree. You can go to school for business in fields such as finance, accounting and marketing. Yes, it's not hard to do OK in the classes, but unlike other fields you MUST get a good GPA or youre fvcked. competing against the other graduates for jobs when you finish is tough. Competition is fierce. I was lucky to get interviews from all the big4 accounting firms & JP Morgan Chase investment bank. At JP morgan networking event, the Kids from Columbia and NYU were very aggressive.its a very cut throat and unhealthy environment out there. Forget your running career.

definitely the military...that's where all the dummies go who couldn't get accepted to any college.
