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.

There isn't one person tho.

If you have the owner of the business he can only perform so many tasks at once therefore that person must hire other people to perform more tasks.

Wanting or not wanting has nothing to do with performing jobs.

If there are jobs that people don't want to do therefore there must be jobs that people do want to do... What about those people? How do they fit in with your paradigm?

If someone wanted to do it why pay them? Why even call it a job?
