People who say this are missing the point. With the way the economy currently works where you need a job for money to live, even if it's a pointless job, having a bullshit job does serve some purpose. No one denies that. I'm not telling people to quit their desperately needed bullshit jobs. By all means, do what you have to do. @@ -32,7 +31,3 @@ In closing, **bullshit jobs really are bullshit**. Perhaps they offer a sense of I really don't understand what motivates non-rich people to defend bullshit jobs. It might be intellectual laziness, protecting one's own sense of importance, or just a bias towards blindly defending the status quo. I've met a lot of people that just defend The Way Things Currently Are no matter what. And, when The Way Things Currently Are changes, they defend the new state of affairs. It both puzzles and fascinates me. Maybe I'll talk about that in another entry though. Anyways, thanks for reading!
