Joscha Bach recently said something similar. [1]

A society that provides a basic income may also need an ethic that encourages not-for-profit activity, creativity and community involvement. The "Universal Job" is just to be a healthy human being and make your community - no matter if it's the global civilization or just your own family - "richer" in a non monetary sense.

It seems to me that this would be a much more efficient kind of "employment" for the public good than paying people to do some useless bureaucratic work.
