Wow, a very heated discussion!
I had a problem with Steve's articles regarding jobs too, but after evaluating how he uses the word "job", I realized, in his context, a job refers to menial positions you end up accepting because you can't seem to figure out what you want to do with your life and you indefinitely postpone figuring it out because you get a bit too comfortable with that kind of work, or you play the victim and blame others for your share in the world, or you calculate some odds and figure you'll never be able to do what you want to do, or you are not quite qualified to do what you really want to do, but can't seem to get yourself together to get to the level you need to be, so on and so forth..
Joblessness is about being proactive and conscious and planned about what you choose to do as your life's work, how you provide a service and earn an income from that service. You find meaning in what you do, you strive to get better at it (because you really enjoy what you do), it connects with others and fills a need/want, etc..
I also agree that some types of work are more suitable for working by yourself or in small groups while others really do require a larger group of people working together. Nothing wrong with working "with" others. If you are "jobless", you work "with" others. If you are looking for a job, you'll work "for" others. A huge difference!
This is how I settled this issue in my own head. Maybe it'll help some of you put it to rest and move on too.
