An icon depiction (Ѻ) of various occupations, from teacher, businessman, musician to cowboy, policeman, and thief.
In nouns, occupation, a term synonymous with work, job, or vocation, is the activity in which one engages; the principle business of one’s state of existence. [1]

Occupational naturalness
In his Politics, Aristotle comments on the relative naturalness or unnaturalness of money-making: [2]

“Of the two sorts of money-making, one is a part of household management, the other retail trade, the former necessary and honorable, the latter a kind of exchange which is justly censured, for it is unnatural, and a mode by which men gain from one another. The most hated sort, and with the greatest reason, is usury, which makes a gain out of money itself, and not from the natural use of it. For money was intended to be used in exchange, but not to increase at interest. And this term usury, which means the birth of money from money, is applied to the breeding of money because the offspring resembles the parent. Wherefore of all modes of making money, that is the most unnatural.”

Or he became me. Or we met at some point" resulting to the effect that "everyone wants to be Cary Grant—even I want to be Cary Grant": [7]
