Assignment:

You mistakenly mention at the dinner table that you just left your job as a dog walker, after a long stint as an ear hair waxing specialist and now have your 'dream job' as a risk management consultant overseeing violent intruder response training for a college. Your Aunt Prisha is confused and goes on about how no one seems to do useful jobs anymore. Point out to your aunt that an anthropologist by the name of Graeber wrote about this phenomenon of 'bullshit jobs'. Describe Graeber's argument that many jobs today serve little purpose, the different types of these bullshit jobs, why this is a problem, and why these jobs seem to be being produced despite the obvious inefficiency of all this.
