The thing is, those jobs do not provide serious long term benefits for humanity. Large infrastructure projects, like the ones that major governments can green light (for example, space travel, quality parks services, education etc) do. It also helps even the playing field so that poorer people are less likely to be disenfranchised. A noble goal in itself but it also probably helps reduce the likelihood of an end-of-world scenario.

Keeping hundreds of people working on insurance projects for the super-rich is not the best allocation of funds, and we have the power to change that allocation.
