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.

      And all he dreams about is working 40 hours a week running powerlines.

      I’m realizing now there is something really wrong with everyone ITT. It’s like the only thing you imagine for yourself is having some sort of job.

      Don’t get me wrong. Work is good. Skills are good. Except no one should be fantasizing about back breaking labor until the day they die.

        well it doesn’t need to be back breaking I like networking and having an accomplished, finished task or job.

        but the title was literally “job”, and you set a challenge saying it’s for someone who doesn’t want to, of course you’re going to 1000 examples why you’re incorrect, it’s nothing personal.

        Just as a sanity check for you, I think you’re right about the people who choose to post on this thread.

        “Something someone can’t do”, is a subset of “job”, because a “job” literally is something you get money for, because other people don’t wanna do it for some reason.

        But the antiwork community is not here, and to be honest, your user of the word “type” in “only one type of job”, muddles the meaning of the sentence a bit.
