If it's any consolation, the book relies heavily on dialogue between the author and people who self describe as having bullshit jobs. There's a decent amount of time spent on how people cope and find ways to do something meaningful during their bullshit jobs. I work in the medical field, and while I can empathize and draw similarities in my own work environment, my job isn't necessarily bullshit. I'm not sure what you do or what leads you to think you have a bullshit job, but you will probably find it even more enlightening than I did. And it could encourage you to seek out something you find productive or helpful rather than lead you down a path of cynicism

Sociology is a social science that focuses on society, human social behavior, patterns of social relationships, social interaction, and aspects of culture associated with everyday life.
