This comment made me sad. I would hope we aim for jobs that don‘t invoke the feeling of „trudging“ and the need for „entertainment“.

- warkdarrior 3y agoAll jobs have a repetitive aspect, exactly because we want experts in those jobs to do the job. But for the experts the work may often be boring and repetitive. I am pretty sure most of a surgeon's surgeries are NOT exhilarating experiences for them, but rather routine activities. Similarly for lawyers drafting contracts, software engineers developing web backends, construction workers building houses, or singers singing their repertoire. Not all of these jobs can be automated, so some routine will always exist.
- trealira 3y agoNot all work is fun. I don't really like washing the dishes or vacuuming the floor where I live, but it's necessary work. A lot of jobs are the same way. Even when a job consists of a fun activity, doing it 8 hours a day, 5 days a week might again invoke the feeling of trudging. I've heard art jobs are like this, and programming jobs. I don't think this is something we'll ever really solve.
