I suspect that most of the people on this list have jobs (or work) that they
like. There's usually one or two aspects to the job that make it
considerably less than ideal. That "job satisfaction" is probably more
generalizable than we'd like to believe. Certainly the polls, flawed as they
are, usually reflect high levels of js.
Most of the negative side has to do with exits and entrances -- perhaps even
more so than pay. It can even be o.k. to do routine, low-payed work for a
while as long as you're not "stuck for life" in the rut. I know at least one
tenured professor who hates her job because she feels trapped. Where else
could she make that much income or even any income at all?
Machines cannot eliminate jobs. What they do is automate processes. People
eliminate jobs.
