For more and more people, work appears to serve no purpose

I've had jobs like that. Watching videos and consuming content gets old fast. Then I started learning other languages, contributing to OSS, working on my own project, etc.

Riskier than watching videos, though.

Any advice on getting one of these jobs? Which employers are hiring for these "jobs"?

Mostly luck. Government or government contracting. Or large corporations. But I've also worked at smaller companies and things get slow sometimes.

Or, sometimes things are busy and I just need a break. So I'll take half a day and work on something tangentially related to work.
