What do you get paid for in your job specifically? Because of how bullshit jobs are these days, I think the only thing that can be said for sure, is that you get paid for killing your dreams.
People with dreams actually have something they want out of life, thus they are significantly more prone to resist restrictions on freedom. This isn't good for the system. It is very unlikely that the interests of free people happen to align with the ones of the system. Thus dreams and conscious living aren't allowed to exist.
People who have no internal life, such that they genuinely wouldn't know what to do with their time if they didn't have a job, i.e. people-machines, are great for the system. People who believe in airy fairy things like dreams, and of something beyond utilitarianism or merely living for one's comfort, those people aren't good for the system. Thus what you get paid for is killing your dreams, which is really killing your life in an important way.
