Comment on Capitalism indoctrination in progress.
blackbelt352@lemmy.world 1 year agoIf needing to pay for basic necessities weren’t a factor in people getting jobs, I highly doubt the majority of people would work the kinds of jobs of today. I don’t know a single person who is excited to go into their retail job and deal with shitty customers all day or sit in a bland cubicle all day making spreadsheets that nobody really cares about.
I know more people who would much rather devote their time to learning and playing instruments, or making something with their own hands, or writing stories, or spending time raising their families.
Not everyone works entry level retail jobs…
And some people already make enough to live comfortably…
Which is why I said that.
Some people make good money, so that’s not their primary motivation when picking a job
I now completely understand why something as stupid as what I replied to got upvoted tho.
Have fun here

I actually enjoy making those spreadsheets. I wouldn’t do it for free though.

Hey if that’s your jam go for it, personally I’d like to live in a world where someone can elect to do that sort of work and not have to worry and stress about housing, food, bills etc or take on that kind of work despite hating it in order to put food on the table.
