I speak for no one else, but my job doesn't give meaning to my existence. It's the thing I do to get paid and pay the bills.
Now, what I would like to do is connected to the job I do, so I am lucky that way. I know that others are luckier in that what they like to do is precisely the job they do. But I also know that for most the overlap is less than in my case.
What am I getting at...? Well: I, for one, would not mind switching to an economy of plenty where money is no more and everyone does what they want to do because all the basic stuff is all done by machines.
Being unemployed is not the problem, you see. Being unpaid is. At least if one has bills to pay.
