Doesn't Superman actually fit the bill for your argument? You say he should do work in farming, but that's his parents chosen profession not his. Most Superman stories I've ever read that involved Clark Kent doing reporting in some facet, always showed Clark getting the scoop because of some of his super-snooping powers like x-ray vision or super-hearing. Or he'd use another power (suddently super-heating an object in someone's hand being a reliable favourite) and then use his super speed to read every document in the room in the 3 seconds someone has left to grab a pack of ice.
