Anyone else been asked “So whats your proper job ?” I always give my 40 hours of opening times a week to clients and still people thinks its a side line or hobby. Which I do find a little insulting. I would not ask any other professional skilled worker this. Is it just the low value that teachers and muscians a combination which spells relatively low pay given the high skill levels required for both professions (brick layers are earning £1000 per week) are held in.
