Yes my feeling about a job has always been I would do it for free. Otherwise it's for the money which unless in desperate times I can't justify as a reason. I was a landscaper just after uni which I also enjoyed. I teach as well but stopped in schools because of the atmosphere of limiting a child's dream rather than supporting them to do whatever they want in life... I was a delivery driver in high school actually which also was fun. Sitting in one place all day is not fun for me at all. Teaching in schools ended up feeling like being in prison for me mentally and physically. Of course we are lucky enough to be able to stop and get out. If a child wants to study philosophy society should support it. Perhaps that's the issue today. All of the great minds end up on Wall Street scheming how to make more money or how to create a new drug for the pharmaceutical industry rather than following their dreams... The beauty of "manual" labor is that you save your mind for yourself :)
