I am gonna go against the tide here and say we all have our roles to play.
Hospitals are notorious for hiring MC to help them operate better which in turn gives doctors the opportunity to treat more people.
A farmer can produce but just producing food is not enough. The food needs to be distributed safely. And MC also work a lot with food companies to help them distribute better.
And I can’t see how soldiers are useful to society

Nah, McK1's whole argument is predicated on the false assumption that soldiers are only needed to defend against other soldiers. If every other nation's soldiers disappeared, we'd still have a need for soldiers.
Separately, I'm not convinced the consulting industry has a net positive material impact on GDP. TBF, I'm not convinced one way or the other, but I don't think it's a foregone conclusion.

Y’all who are saying soldiers aren’t useful only say that because you’re so privileged to have never lived in a world where your personal security is in jeopardy.
You can argue about the utility of the grunt who just stacks boxes in a warehouse or sweeps aircraft hangars. But collectively, an effective professional military is worth everything you invest.

I agree with M1 here. Protection from foreign threats is just one component of our military’s job — protection of financial assets is another. Up to the reader whether that is the “right” thing to do for our common interest.
nope
Of course not. Stakeholder capitalism doesn’t benefit everyone in society while the other professions you cite do.
🤣🤣🤣 …this is not a serious question, right?
It’s depends.
So much to unpack here…I guess if you went back to when humans were hunter/gathers, one could argue we don’t need doctors or farmers. Others have argued doctors and farmers the pillars of society and couldn’t survive without them. But has anyone considered that maybe the soldier is the ultimate consultant? I mean the green berets specialty is to train local militia and maneuver them against the enemy…teach them about logistics (supply chain), upgrade equipment (tech), and modern military tactics (best practices). Just a thought.
Lol
No
I do comp consulting exclusively in the public sector and feel like my work is extremely impactful to the entire community, not just the organization.
Haha no we are overhead
