  Tldr it’s for doctor training. The actors roleplay patients with different weird or embarrassing symptoms and the doctors practice bedside manner and diagnosis. Actor pay is $25-30/hr. IDK how that compares to barista work if you’re getting tips.

    The pay is a lot less than what I’d have thought, given the skill involved in doing this well, but I wouldn’t think of this as dystopic at all.

  I don’t see what’s dystopic about this?
