Milkman, elevator operator, and Linotype operator are a few that employed a lot of people.
- Rjevski 8y agoBut the “computer age” also created a ton of bullshit jobs that shouldn’t exist. If anything, milkmen, elevator & linotype operators provided actual value. What does “social media analytics” provide?
