Thanks for commenting. With regard to your first point: I don’t think there is a tension—The idea of a list of the best careers for everyone from top to bottom doesn’t make much conceptual sense. But a list of career paths that it does the most good for a specific set of people to read about and consider does make conceptual sense. I think of 80,000 Hours as more like the latter.
And as I wrote in a reply to your other comment below, a list like that can be really helpful for people in creating their own personal lists of what the best options are for them.
