can you give some examples of these so called bullshit jobs?
you might not agree that military jobs are useful (I think they serve a useful purpose) or the government in general (could be smaller, but it's not all bullshit in my opinion )... but many people would disagree with you.
- pkaye 11y agoHere is an article about bullshit jobs: http://strikemag.org/bullshit-jobs/ http://strikemag.org/bullshit-jobs/ One of the examples is telemarketers.

It's not that the purpose behind these are bullshit, but the system is set up in an inefficient way rather than as a society doing things efficiently which would require less people. Many many jobs are manifestly bullshit (i.e. people expending effort and collecting salary doing something that could be done with much less effort a different way). Not only this, but even most non-bullshit jobs are comprised of a large percentage bullshit. Technology has increased more than the standard of living and we are still working the same hours. Why? Because bullshit arises to claim the excess.
