[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We all know teachers don’t make much, so between the low pay and summers off, is that enough to constitute a “hobby” job?[/quote]

Absolutely not -- [b]hobby jobs are ones that don't actually contribute that much to society[/b] (like... making jewelry or something).

Ok, no - and no need to denigrate the arts.

A hobby is something you do for fun, not money that you need to live. You can make jewelry as a job or as a hobby. You can be a trash collector as a job or you can pick up litter as a hobby.[/quote]

Both trash collection and teaching are essential jobs for our society to properly function.

There are many, many, many well paying jobs that people do in DC that, if they disappeared, would have no impact on society. These are also called "bullshit jobs," which i prefer to "hobby jobs" as a category for identifying.

I thought this all became clear during covid? [/quote]

100%. Ever ask a consultant at Deloitte or Booz Allen what they do all day? Usually it doesn’t come close to the impact of educating dozens of children each day. [/quote]
