I believe this is precisely the reason why they've begun in some countries experimenting with the basic income. People are no longer required to have a fulltime job anymore, because jerbs are so 20th century. Besides, robots - combined with renewable energy - will make production/services so immensely cheaper in the future, that we dont need much money to run it.
People are given a basic income that enables them to dedicate themselves to other things (develop talents), which they can sell and then become rich if they want. A ''job'' then basically becomes the developing and selling of your unique skills, rather than working 8 hours a day on the same thing because your boss wants you to.
Many experiments are being conducted, also in my country, to actually see how people spend their time if they're given a basic income.
