Reading it in 2021 i didn't find anything new. Definitely not a timeless read. There are more bullshit jobs today like being an influencer or career consultant.
The book held a very surface-level view of the jobs talked about. There's more to those jobs and after the first few the book just becomes unbearably boring.

Not as bullshit as the title. There are times when you really LoL at what Stanley Bing says about certain jobs where you eventually realise that there’s a little bullshit in all of us. Your bullshit is whatever you make of it; so make it a good one!!!

It's all bullshit - everything - every job - bullshit ! And you can succeed at all of it.
This irreverant look at the careers we hold in high regard will make you wonder why you are doing whatever it is your are doing now. Quite funny, often sarcastic.
