If that was the case, they would have asked the question you did. But they didn't. They asked a different question. You're assuming their intent based on your own preconceptions. A common cause for miscommunication and confusion.

    Well if they had asked that question, a lot of people would say things like

    "How can I spend 40 hours a week making the world a better place when I'm stuck working this shitty job to barely pay for my life?"

    Maybe. But you and I don't know that.
    You're guessing their meaning, rather than accepting their words as written.
    You're trying to mind read, rather than word read.
