    I specifically mean those companies that do not directly add to the jobs that “need” to be done.

    My feeling is that more people work bullshit jobs because they pay better than e.g. harvesting crops or driving a bus.

      Those are low requirement jobs

      Almost every body able citizen with a license can drive

      Almost every body abled citizen can harvest a crop

      Not EVERYONE wants to do it, so they invest time and money into themselves to get a skill level that will allow them to get a job in something else not related to the thing they don’t like

      But that was in the old days or with low ROI enterprises

      Now most modern agriculture is done with automation, gps tracking and smart systems

      Your average crop picker doesn’t matter anymore

      They’d need to be more knowledgeable to not only be in a new harvester cabin, but understand the training that comes with it

      They work bullshit jobs because harvesting crops and driving a bus are shitty jobs that basically no one wants to do.

      I used to work those shitty jobs, and pay wasn’t the issue
