  1. "Bullshit Jobs" by David Graeber, for example, does bring up the paradoxical status of low skill professions and jobs that are crucial to society yet paid close to nothing, doesn't it. I am also of the opinion that, aside from the group of people who really don't feel like working because of the UBI, the majority would do so in some way nonetheless, and the decreased personal impact of those low incomes wages could very well improve the status of said jobs on top of making them much less of a pit to work in. Some folks could also get creative by choosing to live in poverty, so to speak, to save a larger portion of the UBI and bet on making it big some time in the future with those savings. In general, though, having none or close to no troubles due to a lack of income and getting to work one's body and brain in an environment that is not shitty while making even more varying amounts of money... that is the dream. Btw, I am a junior web developer.
