Here's a little 'heads up' for you, HR isn't BS unless it's serving corporate interests over employee. True HR is incredibly important to the betterment of workplaces.
For the record, most work today is openly BS work, even manufacture and construction is designed to only make things that will wear our/fail relatively quickly, because then you need to buy again. Most major appliances seem to last way less time than previous versions (though there are fallacies at work there, I'm mostly counting the 'extra reliable' old models, not the ones that were absolute shit because they didn't last and I never saw them, but I remember when Saskatchewan had a fridge 'turn-in' thing, where you exchange your old fridge for a rebate, and the oldest fridge turned into gets a free fridge, well guess how old the oldest one was? It was apparently an original commercial model (first generation!), extremely old obviously, but apparently still functional enough that they actually used it), at least cars seem more reliable than they used to be. But seriously, look at modern infrastructure, it's designed to be replaced multiple times within a given human lifetime, that's absurd if you have any goals other than 'make-work projects' designed to keep the poor under the ever-growing thumb of the rich. The Romans could build structures out of concrete thousands of years ago that can still be standing today, and they could do it to a level of precision that would be impressive today for some projects. Our roads are unsafe after a decade, there are still standing (and safe to cross) Roman bridges extent. Just saying, we could be doing better but for some reason the powers that be won't let us live better, they want those on the bottom to be tormented (if not tortured) for not 'choosing' to become an exploiter like they did, for not selling out. Then again, nothing threatens a world view like having someone else live very contrary to it and be much happier, that tends to discredit it pretty well, if another one just works better.
I think the most productive work I've ever done was probably growing and preparing my own food, and I wasn't even self-sufficient. I wouldn't be able to grow my own food if I hadn't been 'encouraged' to work at a tree farm while a teen, replacing a migrant labourer (I still ache haha) for the summer at a job grown men generally won't do. it was better than the minimum wage most people were getting, and I got to work more hours than I wanted, so the pay ended up being 'reasonable', just not per hour or 'per suffering unit'. Still, the work was enjoyable as I like being outside and getting dirty (as well as being physically active), and it taught me useful life skills like how to dig a hole, or how to not get heat stroke and die (I did get heat stroke, but fortunately didn't die, so at least now I know what to look for, and to maybe look for a new job if the boss requires you back the next day for a full day when you're out with what can be a life threatening condition).
