I find this concept as unrealistic as the one where poor people need to work hard to find a good paying job... The reality of our world is that most people work menial boring jobs for not much money. There are only so many people that can be pro athletes or radio DJs or run an art gallery. The jobs people desire are few and far between.

Menial jobs are a part of everyone's journey. Fulfilling work isn't found only in glamourous jobs, it comes from finding artfulness in what you do and how you are treated.
I think the idea that poor people can't improve their lot in life is condescending garbage. Life is tough and it's very easy to get stuck in an ugly cycle, but there is always a path to something better.
All humans contain tremendous potential for self actualization and being harvesters of change. I know the playing field is very far from even and there isn't room for everyone in the stars. If Elon Musk or Bill gates can revolutionize the world with their ideas, surely you can do better than "job I hate for money".
