This is not only not true but incredibly disempowering. Every person under capitalism has to create value that others will pay for. It could be a traditional job, freelance work, a small business, a startup, being the stay-at-home domestic partner, performing, etc. Most people will choose a job because that's an easier path with well-defined benefits, but if you limit yourself to that, you're really boxing yourself in. What if you want to be a film director or a novelist? Those aren't even jobs you can apply for.
