Well I've always loved the "loser jobs" I've done, especially laboring work, because you're getting paid to exercise in a way that doesn't involve the absurd, ritualised artifice a gym overpopulated by self-conscious poseurs.
Plus if you like to think or create, a body grounded in physicality and alert neuroplasticity is the perfect down-to-earth foundation for flights of intellect or imagination.
The status-hierarchy-power, defensive tribalism and group-identity conformity prison may be ancient, evolved and hardwired, but it's not a fait acompli: we have the option of witnessing the programming, but transcending it's materialistic idiocy. For some that'll be easy, for others it'll take a lot of work -- or even not be possible if their atavistic destiny is to merge with the herd.
So, no such thing as a loser job, only shallow, petty and mean-spirited humans. Vapourise the craving for external validation, and do something practical and simple to leave your mind free for self-chosen complexity and fertile wonder.
