It's all about comfort and laziness, but also, some people like to be told what to do! We are humans, we explore the limitless borders of our short existence. Work is something that has been indoctrinated since long time, since someone understood that could control others with less confidence and more emotional awareness.
We have free will for a reason, we have the power on our side to decide what to do. Why the majority choose to work? Because they are stuck in a belief system, they haven't selected to continue following the “safer path”!
Therefore, there's a lack in general for people to be able to choose the values they want to live by. Fewer people usually define metrics to measure their own success.
If you are questioning yourself about this, just consider there's no way back after you take the red pill 🤣
Hm, interesting, can you expand on the "belief system"-part?

Generally speaking, we all know what today belief' system propagate and why. If you don't... well, there's much more to learn about. Anything in particular you want to expand on?
Your question What's The Point Of Work In The Modern Age? already assume you are not willing to "work". But what does work means for you? Getting cash for something someone else tell you to do? Do something you enjoy? Anything in between? Something else?

I'd like to hear more about the particular "belief system" which prompts people to put so much value into their professional occupation.

Belief system is whatever you decide to believe, as simple as that. Or, in the other side, whatever someone else tech you to believe in... we have a variety of options to choose from. Your "professional" occupation, mean that you, for whatever reason, dedicate your efforts specifically to something... depending on the values you have been exposed to.
  • if you do, you probably don't have your values aligned with you are doing
  • if you don't, you are then probably not giving a crap about €.
But the first question is, why in the world you'd play Lottery anyway? Because you believe you have a chance to win?
This is just becoming a rant 🤣... Think about everything you believe as true and assume, for just a little moment, that the opposite can be true too. The difference is made by the perspective you decide to take. Are you ready to unlearn everything someone else thought you? Why you are asking the question? if you aren't willing to do it anyway? Would the response make you feel better/worse?
