I love my work, my boss is great, I have flexible hours and make excellent money doing something I genuinely enjoy. I would still rather not work and just tend to my animals/pets and house all day, cook good food, and play games with friends because that would be far more fulfilling
I agree. I lucked out landing an awesome job with a great work environment, friendly coworkers, and a boss who’s involved and easy to talk to and work with, AND in a field I’m passionate about.
But, if I just had the money to own my house and car and stuff… I wouldn’t work there. I wouldn’t work anywhere. It’s ultimately just a means to an end, even if I think the means are much more palatable than some other jobs I’ve had.
I don’t understand the point of this question. Obviously I would not do a job for free, especially if my needs were met. Are you leading into something?
It’s an old career question. Like if you would sit around fixing old cars you should be a mechanic.
It’s a silly question though because no one would answer "If I didn’t have to work anymore I’d go around unclogging random folks drains while they complain about how water tastes. " even if they enjoyed being a plumber.
I’ve had a handful of jobs I found really rewarding and I enjoyed, but not one of them would I do if I want getting paid.
Gotcha, that makes sense. Well I am a software developer and do enjoy writing code and building out databases, so there is a chance I would still do that for free, but it sure as hell wouldn’t be for a corporation’s profit

would you be doing your current job if your needs are met but you’re not getting paid for it?
