"Being" a fast food worker, a janitor or "office drone" is not socially nor financially rewarded to a measure commensurate with the toll exerted on the soul or body of the human _occupying the function_.
Also, you're not your job, you're employed, however tenuously by the fast food industry.
As I said in another comment, "being" a fast food worker is not "feeding people". Working in a soup kitchen is feeding people.
The janitorial function is a necessity in any specialized society which doesn't reward you for cleaning after yourself.
And you really have never heard of someone in an office job that is soul sucking? Like say people organizing layoffs, or accepting/denying coverage at HMO, or call center employees trying to ensare retiree into getting extra fees for services they never use etc...
Don't you think society would be better served if these kind of jobs could not find warm bodies because there was more morally satisfying and equally (or better) financially rewarding proposition around?
