Most people just think they wouldn't get paid enough for doing that. If the job is the very opposite of fun but doesn't pay significantly more than unemployment then that's not the fault of potential workers.
Considering how unfun and stressful jobs like package delivery are but still get people to do it, I wonder how bad the pay and/or work conditions are for widely unfilled positions.
