This just isn't automatically the case.
If you have a dream job that fulfills you in every way and is nothing but a positive (I've had three such jobs), you still need to eat, pay bills, etc. So you still need to be paid for it.
How positive or negative the job is doesn't enter into whether or not people need to be paid to do the job.

- JohnFen 1y agoConsider it a hypothetical, then, just to explain how it's not true that if a job were perfect, then people would do it without getting paid. It's a simple point: people need an income to live. If a job is perfect in every way but doesn't pay, then nobody could afford to have that job.
- carlosjobim 1y agoWe can safely assume that at least 80% of people don't have a dream job.
- JohnFen 1y agoYes, we can, but that doesn't take away from the point I was making.
- more_corn 1y agoEven when you have your dream job you might not have the dream boss or some shitty colleagues might be bringing you down. I worked in a Silicon Valley startup where some disgusting employees liked to put boogers on the wall of the bathroom. Haha funny joke. What are we 12?
