A few books out there suggesting that 50% of the jobs done are “Bulls——t jobs” that could be eliminated with no loss to the economy or our society. Just a loss to the person needing the income from the bulls——t job.
I’m in financial services. About 70% of the jobs in this business are bulls-—t ones. The industry itself could be termed that, really. Just a bullls——t industry.
100% agree.
I think about that a lot. I don’t really see where we end up.
There are a lot of people out there — smart people, people with college degrees, even graduate degrees. Hardworking, dedicated people. Really, good, responsible people.
And a lot of those people are actually in BS jobs, not needed by society, not really contributing anything. That’s not an insult in anyway. It’s a comment about how we have structured our national economy.
The BS jobs give a lot of good people a decent pay check. If you wave a magic wand and make that disappear, you cause a lot of damage.
But it’s a bit of a joke that some of the best paid people are working totally BS jobs that just don’t matter at all. In the end, I just don’t see where this is taking us.
