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.
What if you’re a professional burglar? Then, you’re doing something other people don’t want to do themselves, nor do they want you to do it either. The society doesn’t need burglars, but some people do it anyway.
If I just agree can I move on with my life?
Do the job that needs to be done. That is how a lot of businesses get started, keeping an eye out for a need to fill. I used to go to my job and avoid doing work but eventually the boss tracked me down and gives me the shit job nobody wants to do. As I’ve grown wiser I realized if I take the initiative I can pick the job I want and some other sap gets stuck with the shit job.
This is categorically untrue. Jobs exist because one person can’t do all the jobs.
There isn’t one person tho.
If you have the owner of the business he can only perform so many tasks at once therefore that person must hire other people to perform more tasks.
Wanting or not wanting has nothing to do with performing jobs.
If there are jobs that people don’t want to do therefore there must be jobs that people do want to do… What about those people? How do they fit in with your paradigm?
If someone wanted to do it why pay them? Why even call it a job?
Because we live in a faith-based monetary system. We need money to eat and sleep inside of a house. Desire and wanting to do jobs have nothing to do with that. It necessitates.
If we lived in a Star Trek utopian society where money was no longer the driving force of employment, there would still be jobs. There would even still be jobs that people don’t want to do and they would still do them out of a sense of responsibility or even necessity.
The entirety of your original statement in this post is a non-sequitur.
I can love what I do as much as I want. But I’m going to become homeless and die if I don’t get paid.
Lots of businesses use your logic to underpay people, like in the games industry and with Zoo Keepers, but at the end of the day they need something to stop them from dying
It doing something it isn’t practical for them to do
If you’re not spending your employment trying to do what you want to do vs what your boss wants you to do… What are you even doing with your life!?
I think you’ve cracked the case. Good job. I’m being serious.
If that were the case, there wouldn’t be an application and interview process.
There are often multiple candidates for a given position.
Edit: I read this as “no one” rather than “someone.”
I understand that someone on earth might not want any given job.
It’s not even about the task. I sure there is some one who would like to do the task but it’s never just that simple. You can’t just be an astronaut, you have to; goto school; be exceptional; etc.
