      Nah thats bullshit. And this is coming from somebody who would tend to agree with you, but you can’t always be so excruciatingly black and white. For example, my dream job is what I do in my free time, except in a non-profit organisation where I am not chained by an individual lack of resources. Some work furthers humanity. Some work is completely voluntary. Sometimes a dream job is that way to scratch the biological itch to keep our brains busy.

      Additionally, this supports the bullshit capitalist argument that people wouldnt want to work anymore if not coerced into it. I believe people would still dream of doing important jobs that help humanity even out of their own free will.

        Only a fool wants to work to make someone else rich. That is what a job is. Laboring for the benefit of a boss. Doing work is totally separate from that. The language you use is important. There’s much good work to be done, that’s true, but jobs are a construct of the ruling class. If you dream of any job you are sick. You are supporting the capitalists.

          And when someone says “dream job” they are referring to the semantically correct meaning of the word? I have my doubts. When people say they’re dream job consists of doing something, like “helping people”, I think it is the “work” that interests them, and not the financial details.

          What you call sick is only sick if you take your awfully correct definition, which I honestly don’t think correlates well with what people mean with it.

          Thats also why I would still tend to agree with you, because I dont believe in laboring for some bosses benefit either. But certainly not with the initial wording

          This has part time shift labor energy.

          When you have stock and strong comp AND love the work and the mission, you have a dream job.
