If we assume that every activity that leads to earning money can be called "working" and thus the whole process might be described as a "job" than can we call selling gold a job? Everyone that sells golden items receives Cash for gold. It does not matter what kind of jewelery (or not even a jewelery) he or she sells. It might be scrap gold as well or a golden candle holder. It does not matter if he or she sells it through the mail or directly to a goldsmith. What is important is the fact that those people receive cash for gold. They might invest it later or buy things that they need at the moment. Now let us imagine a person who sells an amount of gold that is giving him as much money as he or she would receive in a form of a salary in a given company. Lets go a little further and think about a situation in which this person is able to run a shop with gold (specializing in selling and buying gold) thanks to the money he got for gold. I think these actions qualify him to call what he is doing as a job. If you are not satisfied with your job maybe you can change your profession and this article might convince you to do it.
