    If we got our shit together you could work at burger king if you wanted to and that would be just as valid a career as any fortune 500 CEO (which would be eliminated).

        This! A lot of minimum-wage jobs today are obviously really desirable/essential, and would be actually be pretty fun/respected positions if it weren't all about wage slavery and actually about doing cool community stuff.
