For me, doing work that eliminates work is something to aspire to. It doesn't even matter if it's challenging. I would actually prefer to be down in the trenches doing something arduous if the end result is that nobody ever has to do it again. But that only happens in the software world. The real world seems to thrive on inefficiency, so much so that I think it's synonymous with employment. Automate the world, and everyone is out of work. I had a lot more written here but the gist of it is that I would work to eliminate labor, while simultaneously searching for a way that we can all receive a basic income from the newfound productivity. That's sort of my definition of the future, or at least a way of looking at it that might allow us to move on to doing the "real" real work of increasing human longevity or exploring space or evolving artificial intelligence or whatever.
