It is usually defined as making enough money to support yourself.
If you are in high school and mow lawns on the weekends, that isn't a real job. If you are a Rockefeller and live on the interest from your trust fund, you don't a real job either, even though your income is $400,000 a year.
If you are a Cambodian refugee who has scrimped and saved enough to put a down payment a donut shop, you get there at four every morning to have fresh donuts when you open at 6 and you don't get home until seven p.m, seven days a week, THAT's a real job.
If you were like my donut maker, your son is now a civil engineer and your daughter just got a scholarship to the college of pharmacy at CSU, so it may be worth it.
Parents tend to want their children to have a bright future, which means a job with some potential for growth. Not that many towelling-off men go on to become car wash managers, for instance. Lots of CPA's do go on to become partners, or open their own firm.

It's providing a service for someone. If you're lucky, you enjoy doing it and someone's willing to compensate you either with money or by some other means.

Did someone tell you to get one? It means a steady job with steady pay.

I would say a job is something you are compelled to do whether for pay or not.

The only job that could be real is the one you like to do, and only that. Whitout compromises!
