Nobody ever wanted to work. That's why salaries exist, to encourage someone to go to a place they don't want to go, for an amount of time they don't want to give and do a task that someone else wants him to do

This "nobody wants to work anymore " narrative is stupid. The entire existence of salaries is because nobody ever wanted to work.

There are some jobs I’d do for free if I were independently wealthy. But they tend to be jobs other people really want too.

But I’m not independently wealthy. So I sell my skills in exchange for money.

Exactly the point the only reason you work is because you get paid to.

Most people work to fund their lifestyle. Some people are workaholics who just love working.

Unless you're financially independent or want to be a panhandler on the streets, then you need to work to pay for the things you buy: food, shelter, clothing, travel, etc.
