To be fair to David Graeber, here's another video where he essentially agrees with my previous post: 5 Types of Bullsh*t Jobs with David Graeber.

I look back with fond memories of spending a couple years working in a factory — mostly because it unquestionably produced real benefit to others. The misconception that office workers produce greater value than factory workers is tragically unfair.

True, there might be a general difference in education but to me that difference seems largely unnecessary. I've met some surprisingly brilliant people who chose to do factory work.

Most folks in offices have bullshit jobs. I don't blame them though. I think they're involuntarily herded into those desk chairs by "administrative types" for reasons of "office politics."
