Anyone who thinks about it for a second longer than it takes to read it will see the problem - this rules completely devalue skilled work. An hour of sweeping the floor is valued the same as hour-long operation on sick patient. Except cost of becoming a doctor is countless hours paid to teachers, professors etc. while cost of becoming a cleaner is just a broom. Rewards is the same, so why bother? Why take risky job or something that requires upstart investment? In fact you would need to work years as a menial worker before you afford learning any skilled job… unless we add loans but with loans we explain why there are billionaires “I never did 10 000 hours of work, but I loaned my hours with interest”
Also - anyone who does farming will most likely notice that a daily intake of food necessary to survival will probably cost you a week of work or so…
I’m all for treating everyone fairly, but this idea is the kinda shit that starts dystopias.
Everyone should be paid the same, no matter the field they work in. Doctors and engineers require huge skills and long careers, but they wouldn’t be there if nobody took care of their pipes, waste water, trash, cleaned the streets, built their house or served them fast food.
Education should be free, same as housing, so it shouldn’t be a problem to spend more time studying.
Capitalism told you nobody would bother getting a more “skilled” job, but that’s just not true. When people are allowed to freely choose what to learn and work in, without needing to think about money, they will follow their vocations and interests. The only difference will be that more people will be satisfied with their jobs, and happy to work them.
Forget skilled work, think about terrible work. Why would I break my back digging trenches when I can get the same amount of time credit for doing something that won’t destroy my body.
Probably the only thing I agree with you on. Both should be just human right, not something you need a loan for. Except… if they are free - how do we pay those who work in it? Does it make teacher’s hour worth 0?
When people are allowed to freely chose what to learn and work in, we will get a lot of artists, youtubers, gamers etc. Not doctors…
Dude you need to chill. I read it as metaphor and hipérbole. Obviously it’s not all the same but justifying the 10, 000 years or work no matter what you do is the key message here.

I can’t speak for everyone, but in a moneyless society I’d keep engineering for free, just for the social status.

I am confident that many people would choose to be doctors.
If people felt connected to their community, many would also do the unpleasant jobs needed to run it.
So… we replace money with peer pressure and social coercion?
