I don't know about you all, but I think people who post on internet messageboards in the off-topic areas are pretty much all wasting each other's time and the world wouldn't notice if they all stopped doing it. Let's discuss.

I am willing to pay footballers and models and lawyers and accountants. I would notice if they all suddenly disappeared. I actually couldn't think of anything I wouldn't notice but people doing this, so.... |

I don't think jounralists (as mentioned above) would be in my group...there are undoubtedly rotten ones as well as dutiful ones.

How about political spin doctors? edit: Elfhelm made me think of the trump card. This one can't be topped. People who are paid to pretend they are a member of a target demographic for a certain product, and promote said product on popular (more popular than the Moot) internet message boards. People really do get paid to do this. Seriously.

Bwaha! I love you guys!
Nothing but Irn-Bru for me! <actual useful career> Personally, no matter how much money was involved, I wouldn't be happy in a career I didn't find fulfilling. I'd do a job I didn't like if I needed money, but I'd be waiting for that day when I could work in forestry. (Plus the money ain't bad either!  )</actual useful career>

The people who sit in those toll-booths collecting tolls on the tollway.
Or politicians.

This is kind of location specific, but- professional mourners.
In Taiwan they still have people who ride on the funeral carriage weeping and wailing and screeching "Grandpa! Don't leave us!" for a living. Of course, strippers were quite popular at funerals, too, though that fad's kind of dying out. |
