> isn't the main metric of a job I'd appreciate it if you could make an argument for this opinion instead of merely stating it as fact.

  How many people would do their job if they weren’t getting paid? I’m sure a few would, but for most people I’m sure the paycheck is why they are there.

    That's not really relevant. Whether a job needs to be done, and who benefits, is orthogonal to what it pays.

      > Benefiting others isn't the main metric of a job for the one doing the job. “for the one doing the job”. We are talking about the importance to the employee here, not the importance to other people. It might have a great deal of importance to other people.

        Again, how is that relevant? Are you familiar with the arguments made in Bullshit Jobs? What people get paid is not really part of the discussion.
