An empty plastic bottle lying on the ground could be considered as just trash, but it can also be considered a job. That is, someone picks up the bottle (that's his job, collecting empty plastic bottles from the ground). This bottle, and others just like it, are collected (that's other people's jobs, to gather together all those bottles), and then sorted (that's another job, sorting the bottles), and then shredded into plastic flakes (another job), which are then turned into yarn (another job), which is used to make t-shirts (another job).
