Just because a job pays well, doesn't make it a "real" job.

Agreed.

... Consider the huge salaries paid to professional athletes...

I'd consider that a "real job" because it is certainly hard work even if
only for part of the year, and performance is very seriously judged on an
easily quantified scale.


... or the huge salaries paid to some schlep sitting around doing
absolute nothing just because his job is protected by a union.

Are you surprised NOBBY can't speak Yiddish? I'd call the above guy a
schlemiel.

Or a schlep.

If you're not convinced, ask one of your Jewish friends.
