    Not to undermine but plenty of people do actually like the work they do, that doesn’t change that they deserve to be paid for agreeing to do that work for you specifically.

      That is one factor, but there is another factor and I can tell you this as someone not working- it’s really boring having very little to do on a day-to-day basis.

      Not that I’d ever work without being paid and I would much rather do WFH because I don’t really give a shit about the social aspect, but giving me shit to do every day would at least keep my mind occupied.

        Tbh there are people who are never bored, because they have a strong intrinsic motivation to try new things or improve. Usually in things that arent jobs, like hobbies or volunteer work/clubs.

        For example I would love to improve my programming, switch to linux, set up home server, learn how to lockpick, go climbing or pick up bodybuilding and build cardio, redecorate my home, maybe dive into streaming game-speedruns…

      “Being a teacher is not a profession, but a passion.” Heard that BS multiple times.

      Also getting shocked looks when I answer “because of the good pay” when asked why I am a teacher. (Disclaimer, am not american)
