Do What You Love
by Miya Tokumitsu
The American claim that we should be passionate about our job may sound uplifting, but Do What You Love exposes the tangible damages of such rhetoric. Workers today are doing more and more for less and less. This reality is frighteningly palpable in eroding paychecks and benefits, rapid concentration of wealth in the hands of a tiny few, and workers’ loss of control over their labor conditions. Tokumitsu examines the sacrifices people make for a chance at lovable, self-actualizing, and, of course, wealth-generating work and the conditions facilitated by this pursuit.
