I’m not sure if that’s quite true. A lot of people want to fill their higher order Maslow’s needs through the sense of purpose that a job (however you want to define job) provides. Personally, there are several things I do in my spare time that I’d like to do more of if I didn’t need the money from my 9-5 to eat and whatnot. The point being that if my lower order Maslows were filled by magic, I’d still want - need - to do something to fill the higher needs. Whether being able to spend 40 hours a week on what are currently hobbies would transform the hobby into a job is probably a matter of personal taste and semantics.
