Now, I have nothing against a person deciding to have sex with people as a profession; it's dangerous, low-status and difficult to explain to parents, but if the choice is freely made, then fine. But turning up to an office just to pay the bills makes no sense to me.
Work to learn, yes. Work to pay for the things you value (feeding your children, for example), also good. Find something you love and some way to make a living at it, even better,
But it's been my experience that a lot of people I know only go to work for the apparent security it brings them. That's scarcely what we're here for, I'd say.

Heh, you never know where a google search for newspaper article leads you :)
I am not sure if I am missing some intricate humour here, but anyways. Why would working just to pay bills differ in any meaningful way from working to feed kids?
Like a friend said, work does not need to be enjoyable, but it needs to be bearable enough compared to the compensation you get. As that compensation not only pays the bills but also allows for those things in life which one truly enjoys. A point of view I very much agree with. Of course, it does not hurt to actually like you work but I can easily understand why someone would do work they do don't like that much, if compensation is good.
Then again, I agree that most work is basicly just prostituting ourself, physically or mentally.
