It depends on what you mean by "contribute". Most of the jobs right now don't contribute to nothing if not maintain the (zombie) capitalism system.

Therapists used to be the most helpful thing in the world (or so I've heard), now they're so unhelpful they have to rely on the state to get us to use them and have so many different indie-based projects and programs competing with them, like BetterTherapy (which isn't bad tbh). The old joke is they're paid friends but now I see they're just paid, you could be in a genuine situation where something obliterates the quality of your life (e.g. custody battles) and they'll be like "does lithium sound good" (which by the way, lithium is outdated by two thousand years, so if it's recommended right away to you, run). The reason they're not set up like lawyers where you only pay them "if you win" is because they know this would destroy them.

Some local governments have rules that X must be done by someone in that area. Usually the mayor's nephew. To get around it they are made into a rep for the company that does the actual work. No value whatsoever to the project, the users, or the taxpayer.

Department of social services workers.. Their job really doesn't help anybody, and it would be a better usage of tax payer dollars to have a UBI.
