There are definitely dead-end jobs that don't make you want to get out of bed in the morning. Maybe something like the CCC would help with the feeling of meaningful labor.
I thought this was interesting from bullshit jobs:
"what does it say about our society that it seems to generate an extremely limited demand for talented poet-musicians, but an apparently infinite demand for specialists in corporate law? (Answer: if 1% of the population controls most of the disposable wealth, what we call “the market” reflects what they think is useful or important, not anybody else.)"
The obvious missed answer to the question posed is "talented poet-musicians scale much better than corporate lawyers." It's like asking why we produce more coffee machines than mobile operating systems -- it's not because 1% of the population wants more coffee machines.
