Any endeavor was called a job if it provided compensation and had a task to be performed. Most took jobs either for wages or to learn a specific skill or trade. There is a very small group who were able to do their jobs for their dreams or purpose in life.

"Before I do, Mr. Smith, would you mind telling me why you bothered to ask about the other professions?"
