Then what would I do instead? A different job. Big deal.

You're assuming that I am not doing this job out of my own volition.

I enjoy solving life's problems and if I can help someone solve their 
problems too then not only am I doing something I like, but helping a 
third party so that he or she is now happy. So I win twice.

The whole point of 'machines' is NOT to not have to work. The whole 
point of machines is to make certain tasks easier to do or to do away 
with having to worry about things that can be automated, which itself 
causes life-complications - the word 'Luddites' springs to mind here.

We're problem solvers by nature, we thrive on Life's complications even 
if we think we don't.
