What's the point of all this research if nobody ever reads it?

What makes you think no one reads your research? As someone involved with academia, I research online every day and have been able to read other people's contributions. What area are you in? Maybe this has something to do with how you're feeling.

Heyy I read that stuff! Don't speak for everyone lol

Because the people that do read it will do so with care, attention, and the desire to learn something new or become inspired

The point of all this research is to further our understanding of the world around us and to help improve the lives of others! Even if nobody ever reads it (which is false, someone will read it eventually), the research itself is still valuable.

But someone will actually read it! That's part of the magic of research: it's infinite. Someday someone will want to expand the area of your research even further and will use yours as a reference, and then someone else after him, and so on. All that text you think now that no one will read tomorrow will inspire someone else to ask questions and hypothesize.

We do read it and use it to make recommendations for medical doctors on care here!

I've become really jaded about consulting. I find all so often you need to tell the client what they want to hear to keep their business and I feel like so much of the what I recommend doesn't actually get implemented. I'm looking to make a career switch so I can both create and execute on my strategies. A product management path seems very promising for this.

Does anyone who switched from consulting to product management have any recommendations of h helpful PM books, courses, or programs?
