Can you legitimize your job?

[BlueTangerine]

Simple question. Reasons would be good.. I think there are some stupid jobs out there..mine is questionable. Would the world/country fall apart if your job didn't exist? Or would we get on pretty much as we were?

I'm a full time carer for Mrs Stony but in my last job you wouldn't have had any overhead shots at various sporting events, or been able to watch any scenes filmed at night in any tv shows or films. If you lived in a tower block or worked in a an high rise office block that didn't have a cradle with a winch on the roof then you would have looked out of dirty windows. Mobile phone coverage would either be very patchy or there would be far more cell towers dotted around the country spitting out microwaves at passing children and small dogs. The roads would be clogged up with lorries carrying scaffolding because working off ladders is illegal due to health and safety. Most of the neon or illuminated signs on buildings would be missing bulbs or just look grubby. The roads and motorways would be more congested because road or lane closures for bridge inspections would now require scaffolding to be erected and it would take days rather than hours for each closure. I'm sure there's more but it's been ages since I worked and I can't remember them all.

^You drove a crane? Or vehicles of similar.. necessity? Seems pretty damn essential to me. Doctors need not apply to this thread. As a painter my job is aesthetics :/ But I also paint the little yellow strip bits on the edge of steps, stop mould returning, make people marginally happier (in a minuscule way), all needful in their own way.

Robots will put us out of business soon enough, good job I'm not planning on living long enough to take a pension. But some jobs are not worth while even now in this time..

Yep - can't say why, but the press would have a field day with the government if the shit I did went to shit big time... if you see what I mean?

 

[Zubrman]

I'm necessary.

Hospital Porter, lowest of the low...But you'd be fucked without me.

I'm in a team that looks after dosing chlorine into people's drinking water and dosing chemicals into the sewer to stop hydrogen sulfide production. I'm kind of a big deal.
