      “Having a job is not a social obligation.”

      Neither is providing you with anything more than you need to live. But most people find it well worth it to have a job.

      Contributing something to society is a social obligation, otherwise you’re riding everyone else’s labor for free.

      “Having a job is not a social obligation.”

      “What do you do?” is the first question asked when meeting someone new.

          I noticed a gap in your resume. Why don’t you have an address? Do you have reliable transportation?

          Try getting married without a job? Try getting a home, a car, a bank loan without a job? Our whole society runs on jobs.
