Well, telemarketing isn&#x27;t useless. It is irritating, but it does provide real value to many companies in the form of customer acquisition (also, it takes a very small number of people to do a LOT of calls, so there probably aren&#x27;t very many of these). &quot;Paper pushing admin&quot; isn&#x27;t necessarily useless either - some things are just human-intensive to document or coordinate.<p>In either case, I don&#x27;t see anything special about these jobs that would make them the first to disappear in the face of UBI.
