Daily writing prompt

What job would you do for free?

I know what the gist of this prompt is. A job that you love so much you would do it for free. That is not the way the world works. Second how would you know what job you would do for free. Think about that. How many jobs have you had. If you really never did a particular job, how would you know you would do it for free. Has everybody been lucky enough to find the job that they love so much that they would do it for free. I think not. Until you actually do a job, you never really know if you are going to like it, let alone love it. Many people when they retire do volunteer work. Some people that have jobs do volunteer work in other areas other than their job. Even if they are retired, they usually only volunteer for a few hours a week. Does that mean that if they would decide to do that as their job, they would do it for free. Doesn't the word job imply that you are going to be compensated. The word volunteer means that you are doing it for free because you want to not because you have to. People have to work. I loved my career as a veterinarian, but I would have never done it for free. Why? Because it was too damn tough. There have been Presidents of the United States that did not take their salaries. They did that job for free. How does that seem to be working out. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately that is not the way the human psyche works. When you do something that is considered a job you want to get paid for it and many times damn well. Where you here about loving your job the most, is in the world of sports. You will hear an athlete say how much he or she loves the game they are playing. Because these are considered games and the word play is used often when talking about sports, they are not looked at as jobs. In reality they are jobs and the people that are doing these jobs are most of the time paid extremely well. What would be nice, is that we would all do our jobs for free and get equal shares of all the revenues that is created by our economy. Wow, I would have worked for free then. Gross national product divided by 350 million people. That is way too simple to work.
