Edit: tell me this doesn’t sound stupid
There is only two types of jobs:
Doing something someone else doesn’t want to do
Or
Doing something a specific other person can’t do
The only thing I can think of that someone other than myself can’t do is piss my wife off to no end. Not really a job, tho.
If you’re a professional burglar, then you have bills to pay so you’ll be taking on jobs for clients or a fence. Therefore, you’re doing the job your client/fence doesn’t want to do themselves.
Also, while society might not need burglars, it sure is good at creating them.
I think then the secret to happiness would be to remain an amateur burglar, motivated by your passion for crime.
