A trade where you swap most of your waking hours for the privilege of buying weekends.
means A regular paid position of employment, or a specific task or piece of work to be done.
from From Middle English 'jobbe,' meaning a piece or lump — as in 'a jobbe of work,' a discrete chunk of labor done for pay. The exact source is uncertain, but it's likely related to 'gob,' a lump or mouthful (a cousin of the Irish-rooted word for a mouth). So your career began life as a clod of earth or a bite-sized portion: something handed over by the piece, long before anyone thought to attach a salary and dental to it.
