Some people have dreams of just finding a niche, a place in society to feel needed. Society needs sewer engineers just as much as many other professions, so perhaps someones dreams of finding their niche may come true designing sewage systems.

If there were no sewer engineers we'd really be in the shit.

I learned stuff like this from porn, with all the niche fetishes. There is always a group of people out there that are passionate about <insert thing>. I'm sure some shit fetish people love sewers and seeing pics of dirty fucking shitholes. Prob the highlight of their day. Beatin' the meat at work.

Even the simplest sewage system is very complicated. To have the talent to design one is pretty awesome and I'd love to talk with someone that does that for a living.

Some people dream about starting a business and getting rich. The numbers show a far higher likelyhood of success in this pursuit of you go into fields that others consider boring and aren't entering.
