The "what do you REALLY do for a living" thing isn't limited to music.

I got that a lot back in my timeshare days.

I made six figures and worked 30 hours a week... and got asked at least once a week what I did for a living.

I think people from little towns who work in factories or as dishwashers or whatever just can't grasp that anyone doesn't make their living clocking in and doing 50 hours a week of manual labor.

I suspect it's the same with music... probably moreso as there are MANY engineers, etc... that can't pay their bills that way, but do it anyway when they can get the work.
