Why employees want to work in vilified industries
Maybe this is specific to natural resources but as someone who grew up in area that was economically based on a vilified industry AND started my career in said industry, the VI is regionally normalized when all of your friends, family, and neighbors also work in that industry. The people doing the vilifying are generally outsiders and thus dismissed.<p>People in coal country work in coal, people in places with a lot of oil work in oil, etc.
