Been there...

I would work at any job for any wage. even a dollor an hr,just to have a job,just to feel usefull.

Keep turning brushes the way you do and who knows, you could become the next Thater or Simpson. Maybe in the future there'll be a group buy for Pixel brushes.

As to the title of this thread, "Any work is good work", I disagree, the decline of American wages has been horrific for the last 40 years. The American middle class worker is making about what they made in the 80s.

You get hungry enough, you will work for whatever it takes to feed your family.

True that, but you ever wonder if somebody isn't creating an economic environment to take advantage of that? Whatever happened to being able to find a job that wasn't a take it or leave it proposition because we have a million others willing to do it for even less.

To me "good work" implies being able to find the sort of work to support your family at a level above a bare subsistence standard of living. I am not talking luxury living but merely comfortable.

As the late, great Utah Philips said, I want to make a living, not a killing.

Pretty much it. BTW I had to Google Utah Philips to find out who he was.
