Another Thing That Bothers Ed About His Grandkids' So-Called "Work

Another thing that bothers Ed about his grandkids' so-called "work" is that the grandkids don't seem to make anything.When Ed's kids (and his oldest grandkids) were young,he used to get a kick out of bringing them into his factory and letting them walk through pipes that were bigger than they were.Every time he asks one of his grandkids what she's "making" these days,she directs him to a website or a magazine ad,or - worse yet - tries to explain some sort of market analysis or statistic research.How could we explain this?

A) Our economy has shifted from production-based to consumption-based,so most of his grandkids are working on "brands".
B) His grandkids are probably working project-based jobs as they emerge,making their work even harder to explain because it changes all the time.
C) The shift to a consumption-based economy has eroded some of the production-based jobs that his grandkids might have otherwise gotten if they were born at another time.
D) All of the above.
