Eg people who make money doing something they love (or do not love), but which is arguably of little or no value to society or even cause harm.

You see, "value" is quite subjective.

Arguably, the following occupations / products / services provide little or no value to the world:

1. Cosmetic plastic surgeons
2. Professional golf players
3. Pastors
4. Video games
5. American sit-coms
6. Designer handbags
7. Chiropractors
8. Potato chips
9. Artists that most people do not understand
10. Morticians
11. Ancient History professors
12. McDonalds
13. Pokemon
14. Fake eyelashes
15. Doormen
16. Marlboro and Dunhill
17. Alcohol manufacturers
18. William Hung
19. 90% of all iPad Apps
20. Defence technology companies
21. Hairstylists for pet dogs
22. Watch manufacturers, for all the people in the world who also carry a handphone which tells the time.
23. American colleges (judging by the number of Americans who say that college is too expensive and useless)
24. Professional psychics and Tarot card readers (if you don't believe that crap)

30. Dolphin trainers (if you believe that dolphins shouldn't be kept in captivity at all)
31. Hindu priests (if you believe that Christianity is the one true religion)
32. Archaeologists (what's the use of all those ancient pieces of crap anyway)
33. Astronauts (like, we haven't got enough problems to solve on Planet Earth)

35. Recipe book authors (haven't we got enough of those, in the past 100 years)
