A Means to an End

During our discussion of Bertell Ollman, the subject came up of jobs being a means to an end. This is true for many people, but there is really nothing we can do about it, in my opinion. There will always be jobs that no one wants to do, but that have to get done. Also, sharing these undesirable jobs would not work. There are far too many people that shun jobs such as cleaning and taking out the trash, that when it was their turn to do the job, it would not get done, or at leas not done well. It is sad that we have to have people clean for us, but if we did not, it would not get done. There was also talk of everyone having multiple jobs and having more generalized training. That, too, would not work all that well, since there are jobs that you need specified training for, and if you were more generalized, the job would noto get done as well. Personally, I like the capitalist system, and think that we should keep it.
