Edit: tell me this doesn't sound stupid

There is only two types of jobs:

Doing something someone else doesn't want to do

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.

It's not incorrect everyone is just playing semantics.

You might like aspects of your job but explain to me why you wouldn't do it for free.

I do it for free. I take old or unused but still good equipment, and help friends setup their home networks.

That prob doesn't qualify as a job.

I'm saying I like what I do enough that I spend my free time helping those up their home network security.

Yeah, it's dope. So why would you associate it with working? Working is inherently unpleasant.
