Aren't specialist activities like science, art, and killing each other jobs?

  To some extent. I think what the parent was getting at was that these could be pursued without worrying about the job being the most financially sensible choice available.

  Job is kind of a hard definition. Being compensated seems to be the main difference between job and; hobby, charity (working for "free"). Entrepreneurial endeavors lie in a muddy middle ground. With increasing efficiency and automation "needs" will become increasingly cheap, approahing free. I believe without needing compensation just to survive, many will chose not to have jobs. They may, and probably will, still work.
