Yes, but to what end? When it comes to creating things that have value, I like objective standards and my favorite definition is Buckminster Fuller's: "Real wealth is whatever nurtures and accommodates human life." Anything else is pointless.
Incidentally, a recent study claims that 60% of UK workers feel that their work is of no use to society. Financial Services, Telemarketing, Spammers, High-Frequency Traders and many other 'professions' would fit this description.
