Good answer.

If you start on the most basic of levels, farmers and workers at the numerous water purifying plants in the world are invaluable.

If you read the Restaurant at the end of the universe. Douglas Adams sums up all the pointless jobs quite nicely:

Golgafrincham is a red semi-desert planet that is home of the Great Circling Poets of Arium and a species of particularly inspiring lichen. Its people decided it was time to rid themselves of an entire useless third of their population, and so the descendants of the Circling Poets concocted a story that their planet would shortly be destroyed in a great catastrophe. (It was apparently under threat from a "mutant star goat"). The useless third of the population (consisting of hairdressers, tired TV producers, insurance salesmen, personnel officers, security guards, management consultants, telephone sanitisers and the like) were packed into the B-Ark, one of three purported giant Ark spaceships, and told that everyone else would follow shortly in the other two. The other two thirds of the population, of course, did not follow and "led full, rich and happy lives until they were all suddenly wiped out by a virulent disease contracted from a dirty telephone".

You need food and water to live under that tree in the first place.

The internet should by now have its own prominent place in Maslow's pyramid of needs.
There is a reason the oldest profession is so called...
