As someone who is going to have to get a job in 2-3 years, I’m dreading the day. Going to the same place 5 days a week coming home with no time and energy left for anything you actually like and doing this for FOURTY years or even more if you were unlucky, sounds HORRIBLE!! How could anyone actually like working?
well, it’s about work life balance, which in most places do not exist unfortunately. but being in home all day and just playing games or doom scrolling or reading occasionally gets horrible after a month or two (i’m speaking from personal experience this is a very subjective thing).
for me the perfect balance would be a hybrid model, where i work from home 2-3 days a week and go to the office 2-3 days a week. but yeah most people, including me, work for a living, if we didn’t work we wouldn’t have a monthly income, which means we couldn’t get food, which means basically homelessness or in some cases death.
there is no freedom to not work lol, if you aren’t working and your parents are still providing for you after you turn like 23 or even 25 then you are incredibly fortunate.
in an ideal world we would still have to work to survive and keep the society going, the difference would be that we, the workers would have 100x more benefits and we wouldn’t be overworked. and idk i do genuinely enjoy some work, because sitting around all day not doing anything is terrible and it invites depression.
TLDR most people work to survive not because they enjoy working in that shitty macdonald’s.
