Are you worth much to society?

The people at New Economics Foundation don't seem to think so. Link

Now, this study uses the losses created by the Financial Meltdown as the premise for its assessment, which I don't think is completely fair. However, in general, how valuable do you think your job is to society? Prestige and compensation aside, how proud are you of your job? Was your opinion about this different before 2007-8?
