There is a very, very high percentage of people out there, with undiscovered talents in every field.. who are working some utterly unfulfilling job that any trained monkey could do, just to make ends meet.
There's also a percentage who are frankly, unsuitable for any kind of job too, and really ought not.. but that's another matter.
