Well, unless you are born independently wealthy, somewhere along the way you will have a career. No matter what it is, it's important to the ways of the world.
Not one career I can think of is unnecessary. Just consider the one we make fun of the most... The Garbage Men.
Did you ever think what the world would be like without them? I mean REALLY THINK about it? Not just the piles of garbage that would be lying around, waiting to be eaten by some animal scrounging around, or disappear through biological processes of some sort. I mean....  the filth would be a breeding  ground for disease. How many jobs would be lost because we don't need the 'Garbage Collection' related products, like bags (bye bye.... Glad Garbage Bag Man), garbage pails, heck, even the collection trucks and bulldozers working the dumps, the people who operate them.... and.... there wouldn't be recycling either, would there? Yup, the world would be in a sad state, without 'The Garbage Man'. We would have to watch our every step to see where we put our feet, our photographs would show us standing in dump-like scenery, and ... swimming in polluted waters!?!?

I think it's quite obvious.. they are a "Must haves" too?
 

And.... at the other end of the scale, the prestigious ones, they too have their place.  The  dreams , high goals and aspirations of these people make the world a better place too, and in the long run, benefit individuals who reap their livelihood from them.

Now, the middle ground, where most of us are.  You, like me, most likely have dreams too.
My career dream is to run my own company, raising reptiles and amphibians.
I work at Flying Lizards, a company that raises geckos and chameleons for the Canadian pet trade. (did you wonder where my name, Flyliz came from? heehee)

While we're talking reptiles... Gecko lovers... take note Global Gecko Association

How about this job? You couldn't pay me enough to do this , but someone has to put the flag up  outside the CN Tower, right? . o O (Glad it ain't me!)

 Like any other structure, some one had the job of building it. (Oh, visit some one else's job site...   CN Tower in Toronto Ontario  You'll see:

    World's Tallest Free-Standing Structure (in 1996, the designation was officially changed to
    World's Tallest Building and Free-Standing Structure).

Since then, the Tower has added the following distinctions:

      World's highest public observation gallery ­ Space Deck at 447 m (1,465 ft.)
      World's highest bar ­ Horizons Bar at 346 metres (1,136 ft.)
      World's longest metal staircase ­ 2,579 steps
      World's highest glass floor ­ 342 metres (1,122 ft.)
      World's highest and largest revolving restaurant ­ 351 metres (1150 ft.)
      World's highest 'wine cellar' ­ 351 metres (1150 ft.)

(trivia buffs... take note.)
