I completely disagree with statements “who cares if you have a job”, “life is too short to waste on jobs you don’t like etc”, “happiness comes from within regardless if you work”. This isn’t a reality

Sure ideally we all have jobs we love and we don’t have to take random jobs or we are all independently wealthy, but in reality it’s a luxury to be able to not work or not work full time. One needs to have a roof above their head, eat, buy meds when sick etc

One needs to be either independently wealthy and inherit large sums of money or rely on others to be able to survive not working full time (not talking about people on full disability unable to work). I think it’s very unfair to tell people “who cares if you have a job”.

Most adults would be on the street and starving if they didn’t work, work isn’t a luxury. Such surprising and strange sentiment.
