I met a guy last week who was unusually passionate about water filtration and wanted to make a business globally. People are wonderfully weird.

> For example i doubt that many people enjoy working at garbage disposable or basically any waste disposal Ehhh I bet you'd be wrong. Only anecdotal obviously, but at practice and games for the kids, a lot of dads just chat when there isnt much going on. A couple of them work for the local garbage company. One of them commented that he doesnt know how I stay inside and work all day, he really enjoys being outside with the trucks in the morning, then enjoying the afternoon outside with the kids. Another one is a mechanic for them, he always thought the trucks were cool, and he still enjoys working on them (though he will 100% tell you, in great detail, which manufacturers suck for various parts). Haven't talked much with the last one about work, I think he is the only one just straight up doing it for money though. And who knows, maybe the guy who likes being outside says that to be positive about his choices in life, but I see him at the park with the kids a *lot*, I've run into him heading out to the trails on his mountain bike, etc, so I believe him that he's perfectly happy doing it. Automation for unwanted tasks is great though, I agree, and where automation should be focused.

Would you really trust podiatrists or proctologists who were in it just for the love of the game?
