Any jobs out there that don’t require independent / analytical thinking? Really burnt out from thinking and would love to switch to a more routine position. Yes this is partly imposter syndrome talking.

Residential real estate at a closing mill. I have friends who work in that area and their jobs sound boring and thoughtless— but they’re getting paid, and they go home at 5.

@attorney 1 I believe they are referring to a firm that handles residential real estate closings. In most states an attorney has to sign off on a real estate closing so there are firms that charge a few hundred dollars a pop to churn them out. It's super cookie cutter.

Document review... not much critical thinking but low pay and a bit boring.

Welding. Pipe fitting. Electrical work. Carpentry. Most military jobs. Routine police work. Anything else that is strictly regulated. Thinking outside the box in jobs like that not only isn’t encouraged; it’s prohibited.

According to a first year associate I supervise, his remit is to summarize not analyze (if I don't specifically tell him to analyze and apply to the client's facts). Yes I'm just being petty, but yes he thought he gets paid a six figure salary to not have to analyze
