It's not that jobs are more fulfilling than anything else. It's that people lack opportunities. Especially if you're young, don't have a college degree and don't live in a big city. Unskilled jobs doesn't necessarily grant you independence nor a way to work your way up. Yet, higher education is still seen as a privilege rather than a necessity. What you end up with is exactly this sort of "inefficiencies".
