Probably because a lot of people find programming fun. I am not convinced that people hold the same enthusiasm for customer service or sorting through recyclables, despite people generally agreeing that people need to be serviced and materials need to be recycled. And when I got slapped while working the register it definitely was not the fault of the exploitation inherent in the capitalist system. In fact I don’t think I would have enjoyed it even if I directly pocketed every cent handed over to me as the fruit of my labor.
Yeah I would agree with that, but I think even working retail, with no managers breathing down your neck making sure you aren’t relaxing for 1 second, and having not dead inside coworkers with you so any rude customers are less of an issue, even that could turn into “want to work.”
Sorting recyclables yeah and I would add things like sewage work, definitely some that very few would want to work at. I would say a majority could be “want to work” though, like repair work, tech support, even yard work is pretty rewarding if you’re not forced to do it 8 hours a day to survive.
