I view having a job as outsourcing all of the stuff I don't want to care about to my employers. They find things to do that will raise money, they work out a (reasonably good) way to use my time in order to make a profit, they manage payroll, they organise a pension, they sort out private healthcare (not that I need it, as I've outsourced most of my healthcare to my government through the marvel of the NHS), and they organise project management for me. Basically, I've outsourced all of the bits that are just too much of a pain to deal with, and I'm happy to do so. I'm also happy that I can stop thinking about work when I clock out, and go spend my evenings thinking about something else. Because my work is not my life, and I do not want it to be.
