To have work vs To have a job !

In many countries, the education systems prepare folks to be job seekers. Truthfully, these systems succeed at that, preparing learners to endlessly submit job applications, walk to countless job interviews and unusually, once in a lifetime, get the dream job.  Some unlucky ones end up fulfilling sexual desires of  their "soon-to-be" bosses. All for the betterment of their livelihoods.

As the "working class" becomes saturated with employees of every kind, many of these perform repetitive tasks as per their job descriptions to satisfy their KPIs. Soon enough, these jobs, which were gotten with the sole goal of earning an income make a multitude of employees soulless warm bloodied animals without further sense of direction apart from hopes for promotion to earn a higher salary.

The poor products of the education systems, usually the ones that have easily given up on looking for jobs and torment themselves into using their skills, understand that the core components of jobs are tasks. Collectively, these tasks are meaningful work but individually, they are more of directives. These poor products choose to perform the same tasks just like the employees, but with key differences:

1. They usually work for cheaper rates at the onset. 
2. They work for many bosses/people/clients/whatever you call it.
3. They work informally and quite often, they aren't paid.

In a shorter time, these poor products of the education systems gain more exposure than the employees and get hands-on with bad experiences earlier in their careers. The best advantage they have is that they easily identify what they are good, or to put, what they most efficiently execute since this normally aligns with their income.

The poor products learn the work (the tasks) that is most satisfying to them and they mostly only look out for this in their areas of operation. Even when they do not have a paying client at the moment, they often choose to work on personal projects as they further harness their skills.

Sooner or later, the poor products get solutions to the differences (1) and (2). They become authorities in their careers and keep pushing their boundaries with just one major distinguishing factor:

People pay them for the EXACT tasks they undertake and they can explain to the tiniest detail what they do.

Consider the following responses to the question, What do you do:

Respondent 1: I am a plumber. 

Respondent 2: I fix water leakages, connect your home to the town water supply, unblock your pipes if water or sewage is not flowing as expected.

Which of the respondents would you call if your toilet is blocked ?
