would you be doing your current job if your needs are met but you're not getting paid for it?
I don't understand the point of this question. Obviously I would not do a job for free, especially if my needs were met. Are you leading into something?
It's an old career question. Like if you would sit around fixing old cars you should be a mechanic.
It's a silly question though because no one would answer "If I didn't have to work anymore I'd go around unclogging random folks drains while they complain about how water tastes. " even if they enjoyed being a plumber.
I've had a handful of jobs I found really rewarding and I enjoyed, but not one of them would I do if I want getting paid.
Gotcha, that makes sense. Well I am a software developer and do enjoy writing code and building out databases, so there is a chance I would still do that for free, but it sure as hell wouldn't be for a corporation's profit
