ways to genuinely contribute to society  i've been searching for jobs recently. i haven't had any luck so far, but that's not what i'm here to complain about. instead, one thing that's been worrying me is how much actual value i would be creating if i did start working many of them.  so many jobs just seem like i would have no real impact by working them. i don't mean some "bullshit job" position like a "product strategy analyst" or something like that. even manufacturing jobs seem like the actual value i create would be quite small. the companies already operate without me. is having me there going to help them squeeze out goods a little faster? maybe, but when i think about all the resources i consume with my basic existence, the miniscule increase in productivity doesn't seem to make up for it at all.  i could work at a water treatment plant to help my fellow man have abundant access to their most needed, most crucial resource, but they already have that without me. water won't be made cheaper by virtue of me being there. i could work on a farm, but they're already going to harvest all that crop anyway, so my presence would hardly effect anything. even if i got a job that fully took advantage of my hard-science degree, i would barely be making anybody's life better. unless i made some amazing world-changing discovery or invention (which is increasingly unlikely compared to the past), it seems very unlikely that i will be able to avoid being a net-negative on society. do any of you feel like you genuinely make up for all the food you eat, clean water you drink, electricity you use, gas heat you enjoy, and land you take up? what do you do to make such large contributions? inb4 > cuck > slave mindset > golem for shekelstein  it's called not being a welfare nigger. you should try it some time.
