If the only reason for your job is to make money to feed yourself and your family - then isn't that important in and of itself? Because if you and many like you are all doing this, then you are benefiting society in a very direct way - one family at a time. I think it would be hard to eliminated these jobs, without any alternative (e.g. UBI or a completely different system altogether. Note: not directly arguing for another system myself here).
