    IDK if that checks out.

    ‘Go to house’ wouldn’t describe what a builder does, nor would ‘go to ocean’ describe what a fisherman does.

    It describes the location, but not what they do

    TIL astronaut is a BS job

      It describes something going to a location, but not what you do.

      Going to that location is a much bigger part of the astronaut job than it is any other job you’ve listed.

      Oh, I think it checks out. Maybe it should be “fly to space” or “fly rocket ships”, but the point of the job is the trip. Unless – hmm. Did explorers of yesteryear have BS jobs, too?
