The doctor, redundant, gets another job (6)
I believe the answer is:
drover
'job' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'the doctor redundant gets another' is the wordplay.
'the doctor' becomes 'Dr' (abbreviation).
'redundant' becomes 'ver' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'gets' indicates putting letters inside (gets can mean captures or absorbs).
'another' becomes 'o' (I've seen this in other clues).
'dr'+'ver'='drver'
'drver' enclosing 'o' is 'DROVER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for drover that I've seen before include "Herder of cattle" , "Hugh the --, opera by Vaughan Williams" , "One driving flock to market" , "Herdsman" , "Person guiding animals to market" .)
