What is the most useless profession in the world?
Here, by the term "useless", I mean precisely that, a useless eater. I know the answer. Any takers? The answer isn't something strange or esoteric, it's actually quite simple if you think about it for a moment. It's also a profession you will find most common in the USA.

Define useless......in the appropriate context of the answer.

What one man considers useless may not be so much to another.....

That's because a profession exists because a need exists. A true useless job would be the most unique job right (the least amount of use exists for it)

Re: What is the most useless profession in the world?
Anyways, here's the answer - you guys ready?? Here it is... here it comes...


A body builder. Yes, that's right, a body builder. Body builders produce ZERO wealth yet consume the most. They are not only useless eaters, they produce the most negative wealth. A banker for instance produces zero wealth, but he doesn't consume 600 grams of protein a day just so he can look sculpted. None of the muscle body builders use goes towards producing any wealth, all muscle is used only for building more muscle! Biggest useless eater ever.

Yes, that's correct too, but body builders take the cake because they consume more than all athletes.

A body builder is more useless than a bum. A bum produces nothing, but he barely eats anything either.

I disagree. Promoting health means promoting wealth. Anyone who restores health is a productive individual within society.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 4738365


The usefulness of the Pope's profession is subjective. Although I have no use for the Pope as I do not believe in Catholicism, if the Pope is able to improve the spirits of people in which they consequently become more productive, then his profession has useful benefit.
