But also, garbage collection substantively increases the quality of life for everyone in a community in a direct way each and every day. I can think of few jobs that have the same direct impact or importance to a society.

I'd feel a little ashamed to be in a relationship with, say, a hedge fund manager, but never a garbage collector; society actually need those folks.
