This.  Hopefully you're not lobbying for something awful.

There is a book called Bullshit Jobs that I am rereading right now that articulates why bullshit jobs trouble the soul.  But also covers that we are living in a complex time and economy where we are living at a level of "wants" rather than "needs".

Some people have essential jobs or contribute a lot to progress.  Many of us are just contributors to the economy and system we have.  If you like some or all of the economic system in which you dwell, at a basic level you are producing something of value since somebody is willing to pay you to do it.

Lots of us are questioning the point of our jobs right now.  That's normal.  And these are troubled political and economic times.

Maybe read "Thank You For Smoking" and "Bullshit Jobs", dust yourself off and go forward as best you can.[/quote]
