Opinion Today: Even a dream job is still a job

If you have yours, that’s great! But it’s also true that love for your work doesn’t pay the rent.

Of course you haven’t. But if your job is considered something of a dream job — working in the arts, say, or being a writer or a chef — your employer may very well be making that tacit assumption about you. And as Simone Stolzoff writes [in a guest essay this week](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmZEjGP0TmaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wNi8wNS9vcGluaW9uL2VtcGxveW1lbnQtZXhwbG9pdGF0aW9uLXVuaW9ucy5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTM5JmVtYz1lZGl0X3R5XzIwMjMwNjA4Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTk0NTEyJm5sPW9waW5pb24tdG9kYXkmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTEzNTAwMCZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZHjGw4FkxA76alIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA), that can set you up to be exploited by your boss. We don’t normally think of people with “great” jobs as being treated poorly, especially compared with people working in positions with the lowest wages. But creative, mission-driven and prestigious jobs often take advantage of the love people have for them, Stolzoff writes. “According to [one 2020 study](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmZEjGP0TFaHR0cHM6Ly9wc3ljbmV0LmFwYS5vcmcvcmVjb3JkLzIwMTktMjE0ODgtMDAxP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTM5JmVtYz1lZGl0X3R5XzIwMjMwNjA4Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTk0NTEyJm5sPW9waW5pb24tdG9kYXkmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTEzNTAwMCZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZHjGw4FkxA76alIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) employers see poor treatment of workers — such as expecting overtime work without pay or asking people to do demeaning tasks that aren’t part of their job descriptions — as more acceptable if the workers are thought to be passionate about what they do,” Stolzoff writes. So the next time you’re feeling lucky to have your job or are thinking that perhaps you shouldn’t ask for a raise because you should simply be grateful to get to do the work you do, remember that even a job you like is still a job. It’s an economic contract. And since love can’t pay the rent, it’s not suitable compensation for the work you do.
