It does seem it is a human desire to find a work that allows for "rational activity, in association with other." Crawford makes a good arguement for why most jobs don't seem to offer this anymore that being that we have become far removed from what we are producing and can't gain the satisfaction from a job well done. This makes sense to me. The most satisfying and fully engaging jobs have been the ones where I have made something or helped someone and seen the results.
We shouldn't have to live for the weekend. We work most of our life. Our life shouldn't be only two weeks a year when we get a vacation. Life should be happening as we work and are engaged in what we are doing. This means I have to find something I love to work at...hmmm.

The problem with finding work that you love could possibly cheapen what you love. The connection between your product is totally right on, when there's such separation between the things we produce and consume in our lives a lot of bad things happen. There's some sort of balance finding a fulfilling work and I need to find that too, maybe being a farmer...?
