I consider what I do to be a "real job". Yes, I'm self employed but so is my veterinarian brother-in-law. I work odd hours sometimes, but so does he. It took a lot of training to get my skills to where they are now, and it did for him, too. No one tells him to get a "real job".
I have deadlines to meet, bills to pay, income and expenses to balance, and so on. Sounds like a "real job" to me. I just happen to love what I do, just like my veterinarian brother-in-law.
