You first-worlders are damn lucky. In my country, it is considered a good day when you get paid half the money you were promised for doing some hardcore high-skill job. Which is still like 10 times lower than what you would get in the first-world, living-costs adjusted.
Real elephant in the room is the resource flow from the colonies to the first-world and the Western financial institutions that enable it. That's probably the thing allowing you to bore yourself to death with bullshit jobs.
No one likes talking about it though.
"Why do we have every resource and service available but half the population has to do bullshit jobs? Probably because of technology - yes, that must be it."
