Of course, a sizable population for which there is and will be no job kind of makes that idea obsolete. I think we are stuck in thinking about people on welfare or unemployment being trained for or finding new jobs. Maybe we get to the point that there are simply more people than human jobs. I don't think we need to create a government program to dig and refill holes.
This is rather the point of a UBI.
Maybe people in cities getting a UBI would rather move to the country where they can plant a vegetable garden and raise some chickens? It might not be economically feasible but it would be more enjoyable than sitting in your apartment watching gardening shows on the TV.
