What are the dullest jobs requiring the highest qualifications?
Post Body

I travelled on a ferry across the Thames today. It goes back and forward every 10 minutes, all day. It must get quite dull for the pilot. And that for me thinking about the question above.

Admittedly the boat pilot probably isn't that good and answer. I don't know how long it takes to qualify, but I can't imagine it's that highly qualified. And there might be some interesting moments every now and again. So what is a good answer?

Going through raw data is dull as fuck and I'm sure he'd prefer to do something else over that. That's usually the job profs will offload onto their PhD students who in turn get an undergrad intern to do. I used to do it for a PhD student studying rock density and porosity at uni, and there's a bit of a judgement call on whether an out of spec point is actually spurious or something worth looking into.

I think it's the "note any irregularities and correlations" that's the difficult bit in writing an algorithm for it, depending on what data he's looking at.
