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.
I was being ironic. It had been said that artists should go and get worthwhile jobs, so I was asking what they considered a worthwhile job was.

I was pointing out that all jobs including cake makers, t-shirt printers etc were worthwhile if they contributed to society.

Please read my original post again because you completely missed the point of it.
