Monkhood Vs. Workhood
Dear [Mentat],
Yes. But, not all occupations, particularly those in the private sector, take a no-deadlines approach to expected performance. It’s the nature of what’s expected of the monk that makes this such a care-free occupation. It’s much harder to fail after all, when you don’t have aggressive schedules to meet, or bosses threatening to fire you if you don’t meet them. So of course, since failure probably happens much less often in monkshood, then we’d expect to find less fear of it among candidates. No? It’s hard to make money, as most monks do not, when there’s nothing to do at which you can fail.
