Would you work in the Federation?

c_man

Stay with me non-Star Trek people. Right imagine you live in the Federation in the future. Essentially at 18 you need never work again. Replicators and cheap energy make everything possible. A life of pure leisure and laziness. Or travel or learning. Or you could just live in a holodeck, think of the possibilities!

Or would you actually work? Would you choose to do something to keep you ticking, but thing is you have to work a regular enough shift. Say 4 4 hours days a week. Would you open a shop or restaraunt like Ben Sisko's dad? Or would you do something crazy like join Starfleet and put your life at risk when there's really no need to.

TLDR: Would you work given the choice, or opt for an easy life?

Be too alien a concept for me to not work.

It's life Jim, but not as we know it, not as we know it, not as we know it

I won't be composing any poetry about a cat called spot. These android poets. He lost the head at least once too.

Put a replicator in my room and tape down the Klingon wine button, need never leave my cess pit ever again

stimpson

I would spend my time using making replicators with replicators.

Ruu

How can I work with all these sexy doctors around???

I think I'd sign up with Starfleet*, I mean what is the point of the other life? Without a sense of danger and worth and achievement, what's the point of it all. And especially at 18 I can't imagine turning down the chance to explore the galaxy and nab some alien poontang.




*though I can see leaving them later to become a Maquis. And then I'd be dead.

Just hand me a red-shirt and point me towards my impending doom!

Romulan ale is what you are looking for. That stuff should be illegal.

No, since Tricorders are scanners of different kinds.

They are called Orion slave girls.

And yes, I may have posted it but Homer's nerd call applies to me too. I wear my Nerd badge with pride.

This is illogical Captain!

"Captain's log. Stardate uuuuuuhhh.........."

Pah! I'd join the Borg and help them infiltrate and take over. Ugly anarcho-atheists they may be, but they know how to get things done, damn it!

Canis Lupus

Holo deck, naked beautiful women and never leave.

gugleguy

Actually I'd prefer the Federation Starfleet evil opposite. Then I'd be the evil ship psychologist and use the Agonizer all the time on anyone who I take the slightest casual dislike to.

I'd boldly go where no one has gone before

Sounds boring when you put it that way, obvious option:

Join the Starfleet

I've thought about this a lot. Really, unless you're a researcher or in Starfleet, life could get pretty boring. No one gets paid, everyone works purely for the good of humanity. So, that means, the guy who cleans your gutters doesn't get paid. Maybe he's not smart enough for a researching job. Maybe he's not qualified for Starfleet. Now he cleans gutters. I'm not nearly smart enough to be a researcher. It's either gutters or Starfleet.

You assume that people doing the menial tasks enjoy it, because they're helping humanity, so if that was your job, you'd feel the same way having been brought up in that way. I don't think I could do it. Even though I'd be wearing a red shirt, I'd be in Starfleet. The constant fear of death is better than a life unclogging gutters.

Plazaman

Leaves Holodeck after 7 day session, bleary eyed and bow legged with a bag of ice stuck down the front of trousers.

Memo to self, wait till at the door before disengaging Holodeck.

Enter next person. *scream Sweet crossdressing Klingons, WTF is all this sticky stuff on the floor/walls/ceiling?

Mr Plazaman to the Captains quarters.

Captain : Get the hell off my ship you pervert.

Shuttle to Earth to look for gutter clearing jobs.

Totes worth it.

Up Next : Boldly coming where no man has come before - Part II

gugleguy

A great opportunity to have a glorious, heroic and brave death if the possibility arose: going into the warp drive like Spock to diffuse the critical buildup and so contaminate myself so I can never come out. Don't forget the significance of the Vulcan hand sign through the glass to end it all.

Tar.Aldarion

I would join up yes, Science office or Engineer. It would be amazing.

Preferably not chief o briens job
