Edit: tell me this doesn’t sound stupid

There is only two types of jobs:

Doing something someone else doesn’t want to do

Or

Doing something a specific other person can’t do

The only thing I can think of that someone other than myself can’t do is piss my wife off to no end. Not really a job, tho.

    Because we live in a faith-based monetary system. We need money to eat and sleep inside of a house. Desire and wanting to do jobs have nothing to do with that. It necessitates.

    If we lived in a Star Trek utopian society where money was no longer the driving force of employment, there would still be jobs. There would even still be jobs that people don’t want to do and they would still do them out of a sense of responsibility or even necessity.

    The entirety of your original statement in this post is a non-sequitur.

      I think this person is probably relatively young, and although means well, is not… wise to life. If that makes sense. I apploud their Down With the System drama, but, reality is reality. We mature. We find what we enjoy, and are willing to invest ourselves into.
