People routinely comment on this site about how they enjoy engineering and challenging problems, and how they dislike jobs with meetings, or not enough work, or fluff.
Those people, perhaps without realizing it, often enjoy 'being some billionare’s labor'.
- falcolas 4y agoI get what you're saying, but TFA isn't really referring to highly skilled labor. It's referring to filling the jobs that very, very few people actually want to do. The garbage collectors. The wait staff. Toll booth operators. Assembly line workers. Taxi drivers. Construction laborers. Truck loading/unloading. Ditch diggers. And so on. And even those with the coveted skills - they'd probably rather work for themselves than someone else. But either they don't have the business skills, or the financial means. That said, sure, speaking in absolutes is absolutely wrong. ;)
- cuteboy19 4y agoMuch of the discourse around antiwork is bait and switch. What applies to manual labor intensive jobs does not apply to engineering jobs.
