What is the chirstian solution to the work problem? Since suicide the most obvious way to get rig of having to have a job is out of the picture what are the most scripture-adherent ways to solve having to work?

I'm not sure work is framed as a problem at all. Why is it a problem that you should produce value? Is it a problem for an apple tree that it has to produce fruits?
But anyway the scripture recommends having a manual job during which you can mentally pray.

1 Thessalonians 4:11 KJV reads: "And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you."

Paul says to "work with your own hands" so you may behave properly toward outsiders, without being dependent on anyone. In Paul's era, almost all employment involved some kind of trade where people worked with their hands. Thus the phrase to "work with your hands" was an idiom for earning one's own living, ie, not being dependent upon others.

Paul also talks about how it is evil to be a burden upon others and that you should work day and night for that not to be the case

Correct. If youre not working, you're stealing.
>Ephesians 4:28
The Old Testament respect of property is affirmed, but property is to be shared, not held tightly. The community of believers must be a need-discerning community. If a need exists, the community has a responsibility to help meet that need. This verse recognizes human needs as real and legitimate, as opposed to the illegitimate and deceitful desires. Needs are those necessities – material or immaterial – that enable life before God, whereas desires are needs distorted by self-centeredness, pulling us away from God.

Finding some way to do work would be the scripture-adherent way.

>You have to slave and work hard in a world that is ultimately only temporary and just exists to test you

Why though? It doesn't even matter; God is going to blow it all up when he gets bored anyway.

See the following:

"He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?
No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
- Luke 16:10-13

Hebrews warns against loving money, encouraging contentment rather than endless striving.
