Sorry if that was unclear - working a job you love can and should have the opposite sign. That's why I said something like QALY: it maxes out at 1 QALY/person-year, which is incorrect when people would rather spend a decade as a rock star than 30 years retired in Arizona.

These sound good. I think there'd probably be more of all those things if people didn't have to work unfulfilling jobs of marginal benefit to society in order to feed themselves.
Making things, having some purpose, giving back to society, ect are all very rewarding things.
