Durkheim talks about the reason why most jobs are alienating and dull, its called the forced devision of labor. Durkheim claims that the only way jobs can be fullfilling is if they are spontaneous, and he does not predict that this will happen. Our society is one that has the forced devision of labor, you must read the Abnormal Forms to understand this. Alan gives a distorted view of Durkheim, I enchourage everyone go and actually read Division of Labor in Society.
