None of them, except maybe prostitutes and marketers, as they aren't doing a vital service for people (say what you want about tax collectors and politicians, without them there would be no services provided by the government, and having no government would lead to total anarchy, it would be like Somalia.
Politicians should stay. Just the ones who are good at it, though. They're truly our supporting members of society.
Prostitutes should stay. We can sell stuff, and we can have sex, so why not be able to sell sex? Makes sense to me.
Soldiers should go. War is obviously pointless, peace out.

Contrary to popular belief, I think that society isn't all around that bad, I mean it isn't perfect but then perfection is a fickle thing, and we could certainly be doing a lot worse. So with that said, I'm going to say that I would get rid of the person who comes up with overly long, "better" job names. For instance, if you are a janitor, you are NOT the "Primary Waste Consultant." If you are a bus driver you are NOT a "Mass Transportation Specialist."
I would say school HS counseling. I mean seriously... How do these people go to sleep at night cashing checks for doing absolutely nothing, and spending their days making kids miserable with basically uneducated assumptions.
But i would agree on the concept of Insurance as an industry. Its nothing more than a form of legalized gambling where you loose no matter what happens. You gain money for a claim, you loose with higher premiums, You dont use it, and your sure as hell not refunded your money, are you.
On prostitution... i say good luck getting rid of it, its not going to happen. Aside from the obvious reasons, So long as we live in a world where the ratio of men to women is roughly 1.05 somebody is getting left out in the cold, and that means someone else has to pick up the slack.

I would get rid of all the drug dealers, and if it was up to me it would be by 2 gunshots to the kneecaps and then 1 to the forehead
Quick run through.
Soldering. Never gonna happen. We have bodies.
Prostitution. See above. Usually resting on.
Politics. All politicians are crooks. Not really, but all politicians become crooks. It's the politics that does it.
Marketing. It tricks people out of hard-earned money. Bahahahah. Rubbish. If you're offered a deal that's too good to be true, then it is. Don't waste your money on get-rich ideas.
Law enforcement, free everyone from everything! Insane. Laws are needed just to make sure that lifes can be saved.
Taxcollectors, I am sentimentally attached to my money See - to pay for the Soldiers, Sexworkers, Salesmen and Police.
Very surprised there's not Lawyers in there, but I guess that would be too easy.

My answer is Marketing. Even though even that has a small place in this world.
If someone does something for a living, then it is probably needed. This excludes things like drug trafficking and shit, of course.
Erm.... what? I've got nothing against soldiers. I'm actually in the process of joining the army, if that makes you feel any better. I was just enjoying the typo in the vote options.Madshaw said:

I know you mean well by this, but sadly arms dealing is what funds a certain leading scientific publication firm. Eliminating them overnight would have disasterous effects to university students, academia and professionals in almost all scientific fields, including medicine. Maybe with the exception of geology. Sigh, what a complex world it is.Marmooset said:
Damn those people fusing small pieces of metal together with solder, if it weren't for them this world would be perfect!!!
