> そんなスゴイ御方は、ヒューマンのお店でアルバイトをしてしまっている **わけ** だけど。勿論、お金を稼いで明日を生き抜くためだ。

What meaning does わけ give to that sentence? Is it indicating a reason?

Thanks!

What does わけ do in this sentence?
Here, わけ doesn't mean reason. It emphasizes that something is a natural result
and can be omitted.  
Ex:

  * 彼があまりにできるからヘッドハンターの目に留まったというわけだ。(He came to the headhunter's attention because he was so competent.) Here, 〜ヘッドハンターの目に留まった。 is also fine.
  * No wonder he didn't get my e-mail. I didn't send it! (彼がメールを受け取らなかったわけだ。私が送らなかったんだから！)
  * This building is really solid. No wonder it survived the earthquake. (本当に頑丈な作りの建物ですね。あの地震にも耐えて残ったわけだ)
  * そういうわけだ。(That's the story. / That's what this is all about.)
