People have a complete misconception of what a job is/should be. A real job should refect it self in direct value.
90% of the population do not provide value to society (often the contrary, they destroy jobs). Regulatory, ESG, GDPR, compliance, the whole field of finance, IT (being in IT my self) has not contributed to much real value for anyone. People may argue that email has made their life "so much better", but really? Ask your self if you would pay for your job by your own pocket. 90% chance you would not.
A carpenter, a chef, a street musician, a farmer, a coal miner, a factory worker, a soccer coach, a yoga instructure, a travel agent provide value that your are willing to pay for. But, you pretty soon realizes that these are not the people you pay the vast majority of your income to.
