Your comment just sparked an idea in my brain: what if the "unfortunate side-effect of not being paid" comes from obscurity exclusively? What if a person could effectively communicate their "job they are passionate about" to other 7bn people on the planet? Could that create a match between that person and someone that would want to pay for that job? Passion needs to be shared. It is hard to share a passion without a world-wide network (internet). What if, at the end of the equation, there are no "jobs someone is passionate about with the unfortunate side-effect of not being paid" at all? What if the only missing link is our inability to effectively mass-communicate?
