Young workers doing shit work don't like their jobs.
News at 11.
So when do people typically start enjoying their work?
According to some research, the switchover is at around $250k a year or thereabouts.
I stopped hating my work at around $100k AND good boss/coworkers. Haven't gotten around to "enjoy" yet but it's not bad. I don't dread coming to work, and I feel more or less content. I even work harder than I need to a lot of the time.
Retirement
Generally, but not always, the difference is the same as the difference between a job and a career.
Some people really do like their jobs though. Just need to hunt around for one you like.
For me, it was when I began my career
Capitalist systems produce bullshit jobs that people don't like.
More news at 7.
Is there a system that only creates jobs that's perfect for them?
Yes, anarchism /s
Needing fewer jobs means having fewer bullshit ones.
So in your mind what's a bullshit job, and how would another system mean such jobs aren't required? Would it mean there's more non-bullshit jobs for people to do?
Door attendants. People will open doors for themselves.
We don't need more jobs, we need fairer distribution of resources, just as the good Lord intended.
Acts 4:32–35: ³² "And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. ³³ And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. ³⁴ Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, ³⁵ And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need."
