De what we all want at work

Spoiler: whatever is our trade, we all crave for novelty and complexity: to do it if possible, to study it otherwise. But we almost never get to do it.

Immunovirologists are interested in working the deadliest virus on Earth, yet they likely get a job working on allergies.

Architects are interested in building the crazyest building, yet they likely get a job designing the most boring building.

Artificial intelligence scientists want to create confusingly smart algorithms, yet they get to do teaching or project management first and software engineering second.

Computer security experts are interest in studying and attacking the hardest networks, yet they got to do consulting selling useless product and services to clueless consumers.

Software engineers are interested in doing some algorithmics, yet they got to do just simple and boring coding.
