Do you think all the people working your cash registers or mopping your floors can seriously be passionate about their work? How about driving cabs, or being a receptionist, or working at a call center? These are universally shitty jobs but very necessary. If we want everyone to have a "career" we should think about how we can get rid of these jobs.
Different people are different. There is no such thing as "universally shitty" about jobs. Jobs are jobs and different people have different motivations about them. Luckily, the free market does not give you any right to try to stop or judge these jobs which you claim are "universally shitty".

Yes.

I would suggest reading the book 'First break all the Rules'. Dan Pink also gave an insightful talk on motivations. You could find it here. http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_pink_on_motivation.html.
