Then work for yourself.

Also, if you think that's the sum total of what "work" is, you'll become a lot more appreciative of "jobs" when they start to be eliminated by automation in mass quantities.

It's important to look forward on this issue not backwards. Automation is here and expanding and who the hell wants to spend all day punching out license plates anyway. Let the machines do those jobs and then share the proceeds. Warren Buffet had an interesting concept on just that idea he outlined in an interview I heard a while back. Simply put, if GM for instance had robots punching out all its cars but nobody could buy them, what would be the point?
