Bartender

You have had the conversation a hundred times and been paid for almost none of them.

In a car. At a party. Over text at midnight. Somebody tells you what's wrong, you ask the question nobody else asks, and they leave lighter.

Then they thank you, and go home, and hire somebody else.

This is about the difference between being wise and being hired, and why the second one is the only one that lets you keep doing the first.
