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!

My workplace has heaps of cool jobs. No one person can do them all. So we have more people, doing cool jobs. The world is not all doom and gloom.

But really…. Do you, or annyone else, really want to be doing it? If you had the resources not to be and could do anything else like travel, spending time with loved ones, or even just sitting in your own filth, would you choose to do it?
