I took a certain pride in wading through these long books, feeling that there was something to be [...]

You may have perhaps landed where you are now as a worker because of your internship experience. With many universities and campuses making internships a prerequisite for graduation, one can see a trend in higher education to arduously prepare students for graduating into a chaotic [...]
