4. GET A JOB.

Really? I thought the whole point being a hobo was to shun work.

No, hobos work. Tramps and bums don’t. See above.

No, real old-time hobos preferred short-term employment to hand-outs when it was available. My father always drew a distinction between hobos and bums, a distinction very much in favor of the former, partly based on bums just wanting hand-outs, hobos preferring to earn their keep.
