I mean, the world works this way even before late stage capitalism. You have to do things that bring value to others to survive, you can't just do what you think is fun all the time.
If you happen to love building houses, youll be set for life. Thats a skill we will always need. Some people are born lucky this way.
If your idea of fun is fixing old consoles and CRT TVs, sorry to say, you won't make a living on that. Or if you enjoy music, good luck making a real living doing it especially today.
Thats why the ideal society wouldn't tie work money to hobbies. You could live decently as a musician and a part time teacher if we had ubi and affordable housing.
