Job is usually defined as an activity that creates value (=capital, since capital is created and not a constant like commies think) and whose exchange brings you material gain. however, since there are blind spots in the system, we also have many often well paying jobs that dont create any value, but due to (ab)use of bureaucratic loops still get money. Jobs like bureaucrat, lawyers, doctors, javascripter devlopers are legitimate jobs but its in those upper class, white collar jobs where you see most faux value that is exchanged for money. Not that all blue collar jobs are bunch of high skilled craftsman creating value - there are scammers with a blue collar as well: overcharging house repairs, them doing B2G jobs etc., but faux value is still more common with white collars.
OK, so how do we make the work place more worthy and meaningfull?
Fuck I always think its funny when I see this thread get posted.

If your job would vanish if the government didn't exist, it's a faux job. 90% of consultants, accountants, auditors, HR, and compliance personnel are just babysitters that ensure things are compliant with nonsense government regulation. A good bit of the rest of the population do jobs that only exist because the government throws money away on them. They create value only because without them, the company would lose value at the mercy of the government - the broken window paradox. White collar jobs exist which create value, but they take more time, effort, money, skill, and intelligence to do, which is why most people slide into keyboard-babysitter jobs where they get paid $60k/year to do data entry for 3 hours a day. >there are scammers with a blue collar as well: overcharging house repairs You should know how much those jobs cost. If you're getting overcharged to replace a sink, either do it yourself or have contractors compete. People who complain about mechanics and plumbers overcharging them are just lazy people who think they're entitled to the lowest price after a 5 minute internet search. The entire principle of paid labor is that you can either do something other people don't want to do, don't have the time to do, or can't do. Faux jobs are jobs that don't create value in a free market. Going through tax paperwork doesn't provide anyone anything, and doesn't create value - it just prevents loss of value should the government pay someone to audit you so they can steal your money after catching you misplacing a decimal point.

not very precise, we do need cops, lawyers and even bureaucrats, question is how much is too much
>People who complain about mechanics and plumbers overcharging them are just lazy people who think they're entitled to the lowest price after a 5 minute internet search.
my bad. I didnt mean "overcharging" but scamming people, plumbers are notorious for calling fixes that dont exist.

>we do need cops, lawyers and even bureaucrats, question is how much is too much With business, supply expands to meet demand. With Government, demand expands to meet supply. without getting into prison and military-industrial complexes, suffice it to say that roads are the best example of being able to dump as much money as you want into something without ever fixing it. The government maintains the supply of problems so that it can fill the demand to fix them. Would you hire an accountant if you didn't have to pay taxes? Would you rather pay your neighborhood doctor to come visit and treat you rather than waiting in a room full of sick people at the emergency room just to get prescribed antibiotics. Would you rather just pay someone to buy their house instead of paying someone the price plus 20% realtor's fees because the shithead in a suit googled "Open Houses in X" and emailed the seller for you? >plumbers are notorious for calling fixes that dont exist. again, it's entirely on you to know what's wrong with your shit. It's the old "Headlight Fluid" scam. You can google "my sink makes a rattling noise" and know that your sump pump is not the problem. You pay a plumber because he knows how to bend and sweat pipes and install traps so sewer gas doesn't leak into your house - it's mostly on you to know what's wrong.

I'd say most of the jobs in the US are fake make-work. Another large percent could be eliminated with further automation. Most people don't need to work already, and UBI or something similar could have been implemented long ago, but a large portion of the populace with free time leads to large amounts of people noticing things and societal instability. The people in power will never let it happen.
