- Sorry, but I have not read Critical Path; however, I think he would have trouble
- defining what a usefull job is. I made the mistake once of telling someone
- what I thought of manual labor. He spent the better part of an hour telling be
- all the benefits of working outdoors, toning the body, etc. (I still don't
- think digging ditches is a meaningful job -- but, other people do!)
-
- So the issue may not be that ".. people exceed usefull jobs." but that people do
- not feel it is their responsibilty to create a job they feel is useful.
