[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Are you a producer? (Page 1 of 3)

Posted: 2/24/2021 6:13:06 PM EDT

Do you invent, make, grow or repair things? Do you produce tangible things of value?

Or are you a politician, lawyer, banker, cop, etc? Is your job "make work" that is a product of our current society?

Full disclosure, I don't produce anything, but I did when I was younger.

I'm applaud that you think something like banking doesn't produce tangible value.

What makes you think professionals don't produce?

Deliverables are usually a pretty important part of our economy.

It does indirectly. Efficient allocation of capital is important in our current society.

We could say that without patent attorneys, there would be less incentive to invent/innovate.

But I’m thinking direct producer vs indirect.

I don’t discount the importance of my own job in the construct of our current society.

However, if a meteor were to hit Earth tomorrow, we would wish we understood farming, not law.

Used to be a service technician and am now a sales manager for a manufacturer. I go to bat for the guys in the factory so that they can keep building. Tangible in that at the end, I see our product installed and am proud of that fact.

I'm in advertising, so mostly I produce ads and sales promotions and photography, though I often have a hand in the design and engineering of our products.
