Not everyone of us takes projects without morals.
Also in many countries it is a plain office worker job without the Silicon Valley wonders.
Taken to it's limit I believe in the future the only things humans will do is provide human to human value - Basically touch, and relationships.
Touch encapsulates sex, love, massages, and other non-sexual touch that we have varying desires for.
Relationships encapsulates power, control, and politics along side love, humor, relating emotion, herd feelings, not feeling alone.
Machines will provide proxies for these things, but as far as they can be detected the human to human version will remain "superior" or more desirable.
Maybe far future generations will decide that the human version is suboptimal and they'd rather hug, have sex with, or talk to a robot.
