i find it hard to believe that given the same free will and opportunity some people voluntarily work at Burger King. i think there are socioeconomic and blank-slate issues at stake that ought to be considered before naively advocating "selfish free will."
- DanielBMarkham 17y agoThat comment doesn't sound right to me. I worked fast food in my teens. I liked it. I could have made a career out of it. It was always fast-paced, you met lots of people, there was a challenge in skills, it had kind of a frat atmosphere. Lots of good stuff. But my enjoying it shouldn't count? Like I said,l I must be missing something. It is sounding to me like you are taking the position that some jobs are just beneath any of us, and we should only take them under duress. I'm sure upon reflection you realize how much trouble you can get into with this line of reasoning, right? Sure there are lots of people -- most probably -- who do not enjoy their jobs. But I'm not even sure that relates to what type of work it is as much as the emotional mindset of the person involved. There are a lot of miserable millionaires out there. And you wouldn't want to be in a position of telling people which jobs were worthy and which were not, would you?
