Reminds me of an anecdote. GE Moore's wife met Wittgenstein, at the time GE Moore and Wittgenstein were some of the most famous philosophers in the world. Wittgenstein asked what she did, and she said "I work at a jam factory". Wittgenstein was apparently delighted and said, "thank god someone is doing something useful."
