Passions don't necessary line up with something that's beneficial to society is my point.

Absolutely the distribution of wealth at the moment is far from fair and I wish we could fix that, but I still think short of everything being automated even in a utopia where we do everything perfectly as a society people still have to do jobs they don't want to because there are jobs noone wants to do that need doing

I highly doubt anyone has a passion for working in the service industry, cleaning up the messes kids make at school or collecting people's rubbish but they're jobs that need doing and people do them because they're compensated for them
