Shhh... nobody likes to hear about the people that are actually doing what they love for their employment.

Chris Rock said it best

Chris Rock Stand Up "Job v. Career":

Yeah, thing is I have a "career" but I also have hobbies that are way more interesting than my career. I think people with careers, would rather talk about how they are amateur archers or coach a high school soccer team etc. more than they would their careers. It all boils down to passion. You can be passionate about your career and just more passionate about your hobbies.

I have always enjoyed that bit by Rock though. He's a funny guy
