If you score “truth-seeking” by being correct on average about the most things, then a strategy of “agree with the majority of subject level scientific experts in every single field” is extremely hard to beat. I guess the hope is by encouraging contrarianism, you can find a hidden gem that pays off for everything else, but there is a cost to that.
There is no scientific field dedicated to figuring out how to help people best. I agree that deferring to a global expert consensus on claims that thousands of people do indeed study and dedicate their life to is often a good idea, but I don’t think there exists any such reference class for the question of what jobs should show up on the 80k job board.
