Edit: tell me this doesn’t sound stupid
There is only two types of jobs:
Doing something someone else doesn’t want to do
Or
Doing something a specific other person can’t do
The only thing I can think of that someone other than myself can’t do is piss my wife off to no end. Not really a job, tho.
There’s also the job someone else is unable to do.
Ok, but I’m going to stretch some logic here. If they are unable to do it, wouldn’t that mean they are unwilling to learn or figure it out?
I am disabled. No amount of learning will enable me to cook my own meal. But I would sure like to do it.
Still just messing around but would it actually be a job if someone else would do it for free?
Just change your thought to can’t or won’t do, and you are good to go!
You make your own thought! =P
I can’t. I’m not in the shower.
What if you somehow relate the thought to showers.
Let me just quit my day job and learn the electrical code to install that new breaker panel I need. Gotta brush up on the gas fitting code too cause my furnace needs work. Then ill drive myself to the hospital where i will be my own nurse and my own surgeon.
The ability to learn is also linked with time, energy, and accessibility to resources.
So… that’s the point. You don’t want to do all that…
I would love to be able to become a master of all trades. I cant put food on my table consistently unless I stick to one.
But you don’t really want to because that would be really hard.
There are so many things you want to do or know that you are incapable of knowing or doing because you are too stupid to learn it. No amount of trying will be enough. Your specific brain is incapable. Not everyone has the same abilities to do or learn, but may want to if they could.
Things, not jobs. Job’s are things people have and are capable of doing.
You’re sitting over here telling me you don’t want to learn to be a plumber, a pipe fitter, a doctor or a lawyer. Then you’re saying you’re not capable. But it’s not just about you. Anyone can do the job, the job exists, just no one wants to do that specific task. UNLESS, they are paid for it.
Not everyone is capable of doing every job. The tasks of a recptionist are far different than those of a roofer. Jobs like emergency services can be high stress positions, jobs like assembly work can be rather dull sometimes. Everyone and every job is different.
wheelchair bound guy isn’t running power lines in your neighborhood. literally CANT.
And all he dreams about is working 40 hours a week running powerlines.
I’m realizing now there is something really wrong with everyone ITT. It’s like the only thing you imagine for yourself is having some sort of job.
Don’t get me wrong. Work is good. Skills are good. Except no one should be fantasizing about back breaking labor until the day they die.
Just as a sanity check for you, I think you’re right about the people who choose to post on this thread.
“Something someone can’t do”, is a subset of “job”, because a “job” literally is something you get money for, because other people don’t wanna do it for some reason.
But the antiwork community is not here, and to be honest, your user of the word “type” in “only one type of job”, muddles the meaning of the sentence a bit.
well it doesn’t need to be back breaking I like networking and having an accomplished, finished task or job.
but the title was literally “job”, and you set a challenge saying it’s for someone who doesn’t want to, of course you’re going to 1000 examples why you’re incorrect, it’s nothing personal.
It’s not incorrect everyone is just playing semantics.
You might like aspects of your job but explain to me why you wouldn’t do it for free.
…so are you?
… that’s … why… I put it as a shower thought…
