Edit: tell me this doesn’t sound stupid

There is only two types of jobs:

Doing something someone else doesn’t want to do

Or

Doing something a specific other person can’t do

The only thing I can think of that someone other than myself can’t do is piss my wife off to no end. Not really a job, tho.

    My workplace has heaps of cool jobs. No one person can do them all. So we have more people, doing cool jobs. The world is not all doom and gloom.

      But really…. Do you, or annyone else, really want to be doing it? If you had the resources not to be and could do anything else like travel, spending time with loved ones, or even just sitting in your own filth, would you choose to do it?

        I’ve done that - frankly I’m not wired for 100% leisure/do what you want. Motivation slips away when there’s no meaning behind doing something.
