  • Of the engineers I know, most eventually sold out to become business yuppies or finance bros. One became an architect which is pretty tight. One douche actually really liked his gig of being employed by a mining firm, cuz he got to see all the big trucks and make fun of the overworked miners while being on the inflated white-collar payroll of the extraction industry. But he decided that it wasn’t exploitative enough to make the weekly flights to the middle of nowhere worth it, so he switched to finance and became a crypto bro. God that dude sucks.




  • I see this a lot on the internet but it’s only partially true, like it only happens for the 0.1% of collectors who can afford to slosh $80m in wet paintings into freeports every season. The vast majority of collectors just want to sell their work for more then they paid for it 20 years ago. Return expectations are still wildly inflated, but the whole market actually isn’t just a laundering scheme, and most “investors” in conventional art break even at best.
