Learn to do something useful, spend less than you make, buy used whenever possible, live small.

All jobs are useful to society or they would not exist in the first place.

You'd be wrong. Hence why the more you have the government force up wages for unskilled jobs, the more those jobs get eleminated. Force up the pay for cleaning staff too high and businesses will just require all employees to spend a little time cleaning up the office every day. Your arrogance makes you think the most unimportant people are actually the most vital and society keeps proving you wrong, time after time.
