I think you're misconstruing the linked article.
Answer the following. In a generation raised to believe that "how I feel" is the metric to be optimized, who will do work that does not provide "a positive amount of feels". Not all work is sexy work. And loads of people are inheriting this prima donna attitude of, well, I'm above unsexy work.
How do you reconcile this?
- kybernetyk 13y agoWhat's there to reconcile? Let people who are OK with doing boring work do the work (and get paid well) and let people who are more about the "feels" pursue their interests. That way everyone wins and no one needs to do something he/she doesn't want to do.
- scott_s 13y agoYou're assuming that people have been raised a certain way, and will act a certain way. Both are suppositions. Regardless, if enough people don't do "unsexy" work, "unsexy" work will start paying enough that people who are more mercenary about their jobs start doing it.
- invalidOrTaken 13y agoWork that needs to be done, and isn't, becomes better and better paid until it is sexy.
