Yes, of course. If you lived in a society where everyone contributed their labor freely in return for access to all of the fruits of the labour of others, wouldn't you be happy to work as a plumber or an electrician in that society? We work to pay our bills, but if we didn't have bills, if everyone was just provided for, by default, why would you need to be paid to work? Why wouldn't you want to give back to a system that gives so much benefits to you?

Some people have to dress up in a special suit and swim through raw sewage to repair a big pump - and they have to do it blindly because the sewage is opaque. Some people have an even dirtier job: They have to clean off that guy's shitty suit before he can take it off. They might have to do it multiple times if he needs to come out to take another look at schematics. They do it because it pays very well. It pays very well because nobody wants to do it.

Because you're dealing with literal human faeces, that's why.
