    Those are just hobbies.

    Can you walk into a l law office and be a lawyer one day, then a scientist the next?

    (note: no, sovereign citizens, you are not either of these things despite what YouTube tells you)

      You’re completely missing the point of the meme.

      It’s not saying you can just roll a dice and pick a random highly skilled job every day.

      View it as this person’s responsibility is to get food. So he can fish if he wants to or hunt or raise animals, farm, forage etc. Anything that brings food for the commune. (And like anyone can and should be a critic)

      If he got tired of that he could change responsibilities entirely, depending on how labour is distributed in the commune. If he wants to be a lawyer he will have to study law, and if he wants to become a scientist he will have to study a scientific field too.
