I don't agree. The answer is strictly economic. There are bullshit jobs just because people want to amass fortunes. The problem is not to have a guy working as a "legal consultant" or as a "ska drummer" but to have thousands of them doing the same thing. There's a point when a 101 legal consultant adds no value, but the job still exits. Why? because companies in that industry need to grow and to do so they expand beyond the target to whom they add value. This is it, they expand where the service is not actually needed.
So services/products expanded to targets to whom they add no value is when bullshit jobs are created, and the reason behind this is just to make more money instead of solving problems to the world.
