"The best augury of a man's success in his profession is that he thinks it the finest in the world."

-- from George Eliot's novel Daniel Deronda

"Vocational awe" describes the feeling that your work matters so much that you should accept all manner of tradeoffs and calamities to get the job done. Ettarh uses the term to describe the pathology of librarians, teachers, nurses and other underpaid, easily exploited workers in "caring professions."
