Edit: tell me this doesn't sound stupid

There is only two types of jobs:

Doing something someone else doesn't want to do

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.

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!
