crack mayor posted:I have never had a job where I couldn't wait to get there in the morning? I am definitely in the crowd of people who go to work because it pays the bills. I think it's weird when people say that if they were suddenly millionaires they would keep working. It's either they have no identity outside of their job or they have no dreams. I work an absolute poo poo job that I'd leave with all of 9 seconds notice if something remotely better came along, but if I came into money I'd eventually keep working. I'd go back to school and get a degree then go do something I actually enjoy. Or if I was really rich maybe set up a foundation and help run that.

Anosmoman posted:Jobs are different from any other activity only in that you get paid for them. It seems absurd that you would feel a need for a job if money is not a motivation. "I need an activity I get paid for though I don't need to get paid." Surely pay is incidental. No, I know exactly what I'd do, anyone here who has had ever taken a vacation of been unemployed knows what they'd do. However many people feel doing whatever you want all day with no real purpose or obligations actually does get kind of old after a while.

Pedro De Heredia posted:I also think that for a lot of people, hobbies, personal projects, and taking classes aren't really important and don't really bring a lot of satisfaction, they do those things to pass the time or to socialize. Counterpoint: I think most people are not emotional and personality hulks and have legitimate interests they enjoy taking part in.
