Already, most work is pretty pointless and basic needs like food and housing could be covered with very little effort, but it's difficult to let go of something you've been taught all your life.

Yep. A lot of it comes down to optimizing processes and workflows, developing robots and training AIs - there's still plenty of work to be done in that area - but much also depends on people's attitudes to life, the universe and everything.
Right now it's a strange situation, when in video games entire virtual cities can run automated, and in the real-world military it's possible to sit in a chair remotely bombing people on the other side of the world - but going to a job interview and asking "do your garbage collection trucks have Level 4 autonomy in urban areas, and do they support Xbox controllers for operating lifting arms over a 4G remote link?" will get you laughed out of the room.
But I suppose that'll change soon enough.
