I've changed diapers. A whole lot. For many years. That doesn't define my life. Having children means changing diapers. That isn't why you have them. Same thing with work. There are things that need to get done. You do them. That isn't why you do the job.
Of course, if you actually *like* changing diapers, the world is your oyster.
As a nanny, perhaps.

That sounds very silly to me. I always do what I like for work. I think I'd be poor at doing something I didn't like to do. There may be parts I would prefer someone else do, but that's true of every part of life.
I wish it was silly. May people take jobs because they have to earn money to survive, but they hate the job they have. They hate the work, they hate the boss, etc. All they want is the pay check.

You bet. I worked for so many years in service industries, mainly bartending and waiting tables. Ugh. It was all I could do the last two years to make sure my loathing did not show.

I just wanted an excuse to mention diapers and oysters in the same sentence.

It's too bad unemployment insurance only lasts about 6 weeks.
If you only worked for 5 months, sure. But if you worked for 18 months or more, you should get 26 weeks of unemployment. That's 6 *months*, not 6 *weeks.
So what happens if someone is still unemployed at the end of the 6 months? What happens to them then?

If they're lucky, it's extended... but in most cases they simply cease to be a statistic.
