People will do whatever they want regardless of the pay.
I already do that.
Low wage entry level work today seems like arbitrary roles that communities come up with because they seem like activities people should be doing to earn money. A "business opportunity" is just a way to encourage people to be lazy so that money flows around more and we consume more natural resources. If you like the service industry, fine, create a great business that provides an awesome service. Otherwise, let people flip their own burgers and wash their own dishes.
If I felt a low wage entry level job would be a good use of my time, I would gladly "get a job" as most people say.
I don't want to pursue a traditional career bcuz I find 99% of that to be even more B.S. than the low wage work available.
If the only way to secure a decent sized income cuz is through status within some bureaucratic corporate structure, or through a longshot entrepreneurial crapshoot, what does that say about our society?
I don't really care about career, income, status or any of that. If I can eat and clean myself everyday and have a space where I am not persecuted I am happy.
So much of what we do seems to not even connect with those 3 things I care about. They are the only 3 reasons why I would even consider doing activities for the sole purpose of securing income.
Income should've been irrelevant to the work people decide to do for a long time now, like since the first great depression. I don't get why people don't get it.
