    On the flipside of that…

    There are tonnes of jobs that need to be done but that nobody likes to do. Take garbage disposal. Very few people are willing to do this, and the people that do this surely don’t get paid even nearly enough.

    There aren’t jobs you’ll find many volunteers for. Sometimes there is just work to be done and somebody has got to do it

      Honestly, I bet there’s people who would step up and do it because it needs to be done. Especially when whatever stinky thing in question isn’t Their Job For The Rest Of Time™ and they don’t have to keep going back to it every day.

        Rotating volunteer positions go a long way in distributing the burden of unpleasant jobs. Volunteers gain the personal satisfaction and social clout of having performed a service, without having to put up with it for any longer than they actually want to. It’s just like rotating chores at home on a larger scale.
