Edit: tell me this doesn’t sound stupid

There is only two types of jobs:

Doing something someone else doesn’t want to do

Or

Doing something a specific other person can’t do

The only thing I can think of that someone other than myself can’t do is piss my wife off to no end. Not really a job, tho.

    What if you’re a professional burglar? Then, you’re doing something other people don’t want to do themselves, nor do they want you to do it either. The society doesn’t need burglars, but some people do it anyway.

      If you’re a professional burglar, then you have bills to pay so you’ll be taking on jobs for clients or a fence. Therefore, you’re doing the job your client/fence doesn’t want to do themselves.

      Also, while society might not need burglars, it sure is good at creating them.

      I think then the secret to happiness would be to remain an amateur burglar, motivated by your passion for crime.
