The terms “shit job” and “bullshit job” are not interchangeable. I’ll explain. If you are employed to tear old shingles off a roof, wash dishes in a restaurant kitchen, or pump out septic systems, you have a shit job. That’s something nobody wants to do but it needs to get done. A bullshit job usually doesn’t need to get done at all. People with bullshit jobs spend a lot of their time reassuring one another that their jobs aren’t bullshit. A bullshit job is if you’re a tenured poet, an advertising copywriter, or a United States senator. Bullshit pays better.

- I know you have your choice of blogs; thank you for choosing 100 word rant. I believe that any idea that needs more than 100 words isn't worth expressing in the first place. So I've dedicated myself to these rants: One hundred words, no more, no less, each and every week. I want to reach out, share some of my insights and, yes, a little of the wisdom I've picked up in my journey through this funny thing we call life. Plus, I don't get paid for this, and even a hundred free words is more than I can afford.

Yeah, that advertising copywriter is the worst.
