Of course there are recreational jobs. A kid who goes to school full time, it earning money on the side for fun. Retired people often volunteer which is also a recreational job that pays nothing.

No job is a recreational job. Jobs like a cook at McDonald’s is intended for TEENAGERS that are ENTERING the job force, not for Janice to feed her family of 4. Learn the difference
