"Influencer"

The question was about jobs.

[–] cantstopthesignal@sh.itjust.works 10 points 10 months ago

Part time dog-walker.

What is the definition of a job? I guess if someone said musician, that would be a career instead? Is a self employed contractor a job or is every client a job? Does an actor have one job or many?

I considered a revenue stream to be a job but I'm not sure now.

I guess the definition of job is vocation/occupation that generates your main financial income

[–] theshatterstone54@feddit.uk 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Main financial income

So if I have 3 positions of employment, only the part time gig that makes me 60% of my income is my job, but not the full time one, or the part time one that makes me a bit of money on the side?

[–] u202307011927@feddit.de 2 points 10 months ago

Well, the main sources of income.

A robbery could be a job too, depends on the point of view

"Influencer" is a "job." They didn't mention getting paid.
