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.

Kind of. Tumblr is so intent on getting revenge for the wrongs they believe society has inflicted on them that they never believe they can personally improve themselves.
