Is a life spent working in a customary job a purposeful one?

Of course, because it isn't the work which always determines purpose, but how it allows us to interact with others.

Example: A waitress (yes, I said "waitress" and not a fucking "server").
While you may think slogging coffee all over a cafe may seem unimportant, the smile or kind word ("Hun", "sweety", etc.) may be the only light some people have in their lives.
So, they have a great purpose.

@xixgun or not because they're miserable and pour coffee on people 😂

I agree with you. It's the individual rather than the role that creates purpose or not. Although possibly the miserable waitress tips coffee on someone who deserves it? Lol So, nope, I changed my mind back to "purpose is undeterminable"
