Why work? To fulfil your ambitions. To give to your fellow human beings.
It’s really a funny thing: If you look at polls surrounding providing a universal basic income you see an overwhelming majority answer “I’d work about the same amount, maybe a bit less but not much” while the same majority also says “Most people would park themselves in front of the TV with a beer”. The general attitude is “everyone is a lazy bum but me”, see what capitalist realism has done to us. One of the worst innovations ever, conservatives really should rail against it given that it’s new and harmful.
More into details: Education, housing, food, yes. Access to information and entertainment (internet), and healthcare. Cars, no, we should have proper public transport, vacation, depends: Do you want to spend money or visit balconia?
Housing, food, and transportation should indeed be decommodified. Vacation is a luxury, and doesn’t need to be free at point of service.
People work because they still need to. Do you get paid to clean your room? Even then, you’d still get paid, but certain things should not be extorted by profit.

Why stop at education? Why not housing, or food, or cars, or vacation? Why work at all?
