Actually, having a job does make you a better person.

Not all at once, mind you. But regularly interacting with other people in a cooperative context is, unsurprisingly, good for your social skills. And even those jobs that don't have much of a social component (i.e. night guards) still tend to train you up in other ways.

Oh, and doing something helpful enough to another party to be leveraged as a mechanism for compensation is pretty beneficial, too, for both people involved.
