I meant taking care of other people's kids. No one pays you to sit in traffic for yourself, either, or write software for yourself, for that matter. If we lived in some fantasy society with no money, maybe people would take care of their own kids and not other people's, but that's not the question at hand. Also, it's probably false. Watching each other's kids makes a lot of sense with or without money.

The question at hand is whether "doing what you love" will "leave you satisfied." And, further, that this is "as true for your work life as it is your lovers." Consider that society, by and large, does not put a ton of value in "sitting around taking care of other peoples kids." Nor does it put a lot of value in teaching said kids. Sure you can make enough to survive, but it is a frustrating position that is often rather thankless and not at all acknowledged. Yet, those people should bugger off because if "they truly loved what they were doing they would be satisfied." Right?
