Are cake makers, t-shirt printers, suit sellers etc worthwhile jobs?
Surely anyone who pays taxes is contributing to society and is therefore worthwhile. These artists who get lottery funded projects have to pay tax like everyone else.

I find it astonishing that you really think that only firemen, police, nurses, teachers etc are the only jobs that can be categorised as "worthwhile". Anybody who is out working in any way shape or form is making some contribution to society in whichever way they are employed. Even voluntary workers contribute in their own way.
Yes cake makers, t-shirt printers, suit sellers etc are worthwhile jobs because they provide the public with goods they want to buy. I find your observations quite offensive.
