Honestly I think it is a bit sad that you cannot imagine that a person would prefer to do something other than work, and that the alternative must be to find other work to do. I have other things that I enjoy that are not my job, such as my family and my hobbies. Maybe look into one day finding something you enjoy outside of work.
- greggman 12y agoThat's a good point. I guess I feel like most people, given infinite money, would still find something of value to others to do. I'm biased as I like coding. Even if I didn't need money I'd still code my own projects. In other words you get 20 million dollars. You quit your job, buy a house, travel the world, but eventually you'll get bored and start doing something. Writing a novel, volunteering, teaching, something that helps others. It's that something that's more than likely something you could get paid for. I'm open to the idea that maybe many people would just do nothing of value to anyone else. I suppose looking at retired people might be a good pool of data. How many of them are doing nothing of value to anyone but themselves and their family and how many are happy and what's the correlation between the two.
