Are you ever amazed by the fact that there are some professions so useless but the world insists on their existence? I am. Every. Single. Day. If you happen to see your profession know that what you do is useless (not to mention pointless). Mind you, that doesn’t mean you are a bad person. No, no far from it! What the presence of your profession in this list means is that you do useless things.
Professional Philosopher
Yeah I know. When I first realized there are ass hats out there who are profession philosophers I nearly choked. I thought for certain this is a joke! Right?! Then I became aware that not only are these people out there, but A) they get paid to… well I’m not sure what they do and B) they all seem to have their own rabid little following. It’s kinda like they have their own groupies. If groupies were morons.
Wal-Mart Greeter
I hesitated to include this just because I’m not sure it qualifies as a profession, but the folks who do it sure seem to take it pretty seriously. In that case who am I to not acknowledge their total lack of necessity. Has a Wal-Mart greeter ever made your day better or your shopping experience more pleasant when they say “Welcome to Wal-Mart”? Yeah, me either. I’m all for giving people jobs, Wal-Mart but instead of wasting that talent how about opening up another checkout line? Or rounding up carts in the lot. Welcoming me to Wal-Mart just plain sucks.
That’s right those are two of the world’s most useless professions. There are other equally absurd professions, in fact, how about a bonus useless profession?
Professional Bloggers
Did you know that there are people who make shit tons of money by writing blog posts? DID YOU KNOW THIS? They write a post, and their loyal readers eat up their every word. You’d think they were shitting golden eggs judging by how other bloggers fawn and gush all over them.
But really, who am I to take note and then tell you how useless these professions are? That’s easy. I’m the guy you are agreeing with right now.
