“love of good music.” Music, like beauty, is in the ears of the beholder.
Not really a job, more like “self employment”:
Mississippi Sheiks-Bootlegger’s Blues

And another type of employment:
Andrews Sisters-Rum and Coca Cola
“Both mother and daugher working for the Yankee dollar”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WiayZdPESno
Long Tall Glasses-Leo Sayer
Opposite of Labor Day
I am a man of the road, a hobo by name.
I don’t seek entertainment, just poultry And game
Cumberland Blues. Ya beat me to it! “Make good money/five dollars a day/ make anymore/ and I might move away...’’
Pink Floyd - Money
Money, it’s a hit
Don’t give me that do-goody-good bullshit
Quite a fine steel guitar there, too!

“Yeah I got a permit to wear this 38,
but listen, my life’s worth more than the minimum wage”

Ten Years After
Hard Days Night ( and I’ve been working like a dog)
The Beatles
Kathy Mattea -- Eighteen Wheels And A Dozen Roses
What makes this song so special is that the brief intro clip in the video is about a piece of the song's history. Kathy got the inspiration for this song when she and her band had pulled into a truck stop in their tour bus and met a fan of hers who was a truck driver getting ready for retirement!
“Makin’ Thunderbirds” by Bob Seeger. That tune really rocks, and almost makes you feel like you were on the line with him (although I’m sure he never actually made a Thunderbird).

Donna Summer, She Works Hard For The Money

"Bang The Drum All Day"
I don't want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day
I don't want to play
I just want to bang on the drum all day
Ever since I was a tiny boy
I don't want no candy
I don't need no toy
I took a stick and an old coffee can
I bang on that thing til I got
Blisters on my hand because
I don't want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day
Yes, I do
I don't want to play
I just want to bang on the drum all day
That's right
When I get older they think I'm a fool
The teacher told me I should stay after school
She caught me pounding on the desk with my hands
But my licks was so hot
I made the teacher wanna dance
And that's why
I don't want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day
Hey, why not?
I don't want to play
I just want to bang on the drum all day
I don't want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day
I don't want to play
I just want to bang on the drum all day
Listen to this
Every day when I get home from work
I feel so frustrated
The boss is a jerk
And I get my sticks and go out to the shed
And I pound on that drum like it was the boss's head
Because
I don't want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day
I don't want to play
I just want to bang on the drum all day
I can bang that drum
I don't want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day
I don't want to play
I just want to bang on the drum all day
I don't want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day
Hey, you wanna take a bang at it?
I don't want to play
I just want to bang on the drum all day
I don't want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day
I don't want to play
I just want to bang on the drum all day
I can do this all day
