Most jobs are pointless in the global scheme of things.
- fsloth 5y ago"Most jobs are pointless in the global scheme of things." First, I disagree you should measure mans life on global scale, and secondly I disagree jobs are pointless. The meaning to many jobs comes from the impact to the community, the people around the employee - "stakeholder value" is the term someone would use. Nurse, cleaner, garbage car driver, teacher, doctor, airplane pilot - all have impactful jobs that create a physical and psychological imprint on the world. If you seek global impact - I don't think a single human being can have much of that - and seeking global scale effects reeks of megalomania.
