#and meanwhile I contribute 48282x more good to society

[seancosy]

It feels like there is a huge shortage of vital jobs that tangibly keep society going, such as plumbers, engineers, doctors, electricians, psychologists, teachers, nurses, etc.

But there is an overabundance of useless jobs that do not influence the world at all. Brand representatives, advertising agents, social media managers, middle managers, etc.

The obvious reason is capitalism. It costs time and money to train people in specific roles, and the jobs that improve society do not necessarily earn a profit. Healthcare should cost money! Education should cost money! We need to steer away from viewing profit as a useful measure for a job’s worth. A nurse achieves more good in a day than an influencer will in a lifetime, but that will never be reflected by their financial situations.
