The growth of "stupid jobs" is described as fertile
It is "reaping a crop" as though it has a mind of its own
Reinforces the idea that stupid jobs will inevitably be the future for many educated youth
Metaphor
Stupid jobs are traps that are difficult to escape
It is difficult to avoid having a stupid job with today's job market
It can be difficult to find the mental distinction that makes these jobs a form of partial freedom as opposed to just meaningless work.
"For several years now, I have relied
on stupid jobs to pay my way through
the world. This isn't because I'm a stupid
person. On the contrary, stupid jobs are
the way to avoid brain-numbing idiocy
of full-time employment. They are the next
best thing to having no job at all. They will
keep you sane, and smart."
"Ha ha. I don't care what you think of me.
And by the way, I never did."
