Modern society trains people to desire materialism over everything.
A modern working mum will sacrifice seeing her children in return for a nicer house and car. To use a Tyler Durden quote "Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need".
And people are fooled into spending a large percentage of their lives, if not the majority, doing menotenous tasks they dont enjoy.
So called "progress" is nothing more than destruction. Destruction of the environment, of our relationships, and our self-fulfillment.
People are continously baited by the carrot on the string to keep going. One more payrise and we will reach that happyplace of contentment, or a few more years and that technological breakthrough will occur. In reality all we are doing is digging ourselves in an emotional, social, and environmental hole.
So in that sense the majority of jobs are "useless". Although most people dont have the insight to recognise it, and will stumble blindy through there life wondering why they are miserable.. They will however be prescribed with enough antidepressants to keep them functioning.
