Is your dad actually your dad, or is he your brother? Well my job uses your blood to find out these questions and more.

Workers had paid lunches, daily rates (not hourly), weekends, and implicit time off during winter when there wasn't much daylight or much to do.

The invention of the clock changed that to an hourly wage (which employers would cheat by fixing the clock, later saved by the invention of the pocket watch), and specialisation of labour meant that any worker could be replaced to serve as a cog.

To a degree. If people are telling you "don't pursue that career in art, go get a normal job that at least buys you some sanity in the evenings", then maybe it might help to listen to them a little. You can still pursue art in your free time.
