Well said. A lot of people probably don't even know what they want to do but only what they have to do. I have people around me without any real interest (that they know of) because their life revolves around their work and careers.

I hear ya bud. I always feel like it's such a lack of imagination, and loss of potential, how we have the tools right now (such as implementing a UBI) that could be a stepping stone towards creating a culture where we don't reduce our lives' meaning down to 'worker'.

I don't know, is it? This is what i observe in my surroundings but i also have friends that really did pursue a genuine interest. Trying to make a living with something they really want to do. But they are a minority..

Yep, my experience is the same, most people spend their lives on work that they don't really enjoy, only a minority try to pursue what they enjoy.
