On the other hand, I don’t think a job being “non-creative” should be considered derogatory. The wheels of society are greased by bureaucrats and sanitation staff, and the total human suffering averted by a person sanitizing doorknobs or what have you is significantly greater than whatever it is that programmers and mechanical engineers are doing all day (mostly bombs and the panopticon).
Not meant to be a joke but also, on reflection, “non-creative jobs” is a really shitty way to describe those jobs.
