My choice of expression was a bit clumsy.
By "toil" I did not mean a thing without a worth - a thing you find worthwhile is intrinsically valuable. I don't believe you can compute economic value to life experiences.
I would call toil anything that does not enable you to rise to the stage of self-actualization in Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
But like I said my intent was not to present such a non-self actualizing job as bad, quite contrary.
