Yeah there are a lot of jobs that are theoretically useless in an ideal economic system or even a better economic system, but are actually productive in our current byzantine capitalist system.
It's very easy to create actually useless jobs, jobs that presently do nothing. They definitely exist, but it's really hard to pick them out broadly because their only utility is to appear productive.
A fun one to try and find when job hunting is the project lead for a project that requires approval from both c-level and other departments. This will never be approved and suggested changes will take months to percolate through, leaving your team free to do whatever the hell they want.
How would one find such a job?
Look for medium-sized companies with original founders and aging consumer bases.
